The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is looking to enable spot crypto trading on federally registered exchanges.

The effort is part of a new initiative dubbed “Crypto Sprint,” where the commodities regulator will work on implementing recommendations from President Donald Trump’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.

Acting CFTC Chairman Caroline D. Pham said that the CFTC “is full speed ahead on enabling immediate trading of digital assets at the federal level in coordination with the SEC’s Project Crypto.”

Enabling spot crypto trading on CFTC-registered exchanges would leverage federal regulatory frameworks to allow spot contracts – those settled in actual crypto assets rather than cash equivalents – on regulated U.S. trading venues for the first time.

The CFTC is now seeking public input on how to list and regulate spot crypto contracts on these exchanges, with a feedback window open until August 18.
