The U.S. CFTC announced the launch of a new round of encryption sprint plan

On August 22, Acting Chairwoman Caroline D. Pham of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that the CFTC will launch a new round of its crypto sprint program to implement the recommendations of the President's Task Force on Digital Asset Markets.

Pham stated that promoting instant digital asset trading at the federal level is a top government priority, and that the CFTC's spot crypto listing plan aligns with the SEC's Project Crypto and responds to President Trump's call.

She emphasized that public feedback will assist the CFTC in developing policies related to leverage, margin, and retail trading. The CFTC also invited industry comment on the recommendations in the report, "Strengthening U.S. Leadership in Digital Fintech."
