CFTC seeks rules for leveraged crypto tradingUS exchanges could gain access to retail leverage through deeper federal oversight, but the framework is still at the comment stage.
The CFTC is asking how US exchanges could offer leveraged crypto trading under a federal framework. Platforms that opt in could gain access to retail leverage while accepting stricter custody, surveillance and intermediary requirements. The agency has opened a consultation, with the detailed rules still to come. ICE and OKX are planning a separate expansion of market access through round-the-clock tokenized stocks. Meanwhile, ZachXBT’s account of a laundering investigation describes how private conversations and onchain tracing helped identify stolen funds. Top News
