SEC and CFTC Collaborate on Harmonized Regulatory Framework for Digital Assets

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are working together to establish a harmonized regulatory framework for digital assets in the US.

This joint initiative aims to provide clarity on what constitutes a security versus a commodity in the context of cryptocurrencies, helping businesses navigate the new landscape more effectively.

The event will cover key topics including regulatory definitions, investor protections, technological innovations, and global collaboration. Industry experts, legislators, and thought leaders are expected to participate in panels and discussions to foster dialogue and elicit various perspectives and solutions.

A harmonized regulatory approach is expected to promote innovation while ensuring adequate protective measures for investors. The US has the opportunity to set a global standard by creating a coherent regulatory framework that enhances consumer protections and bolsters its reputation as a financial leader in the digital age.
