CFTC Seeks Public Input on New Framework for Leveraged Crypto Trading
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is seeking public input on how federal commodities laws should apply to leveraged crypto trades and digital asset trading platforms. Two frameworks, Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions (CTX) and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets (CAM), have been proposed. The deadline for public comments is December 14, 2026. CTX examines crypto purchases made with borrowed money, margin or leverage, while CAM deals with the platforms where digital assets are traded. The CFTC will consider public responses before deciding whether to advance the proposals into formal rulemaking.
