Speaking at Fordham Law’s Blockchain Regulatory Symposium on October 5, CFTC Chair Michael Selig said the agency would use its existing powers to deliver a crypto market structure “with or without legislation”. Bloomberg reports the Commodity Futures Trading Commission unveiled a proposal Monday to regulate digital asset transactions and markets, with public comment for 60 days. Sumsub describes it as an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on Regulation CTX and Regulation CAM, and says the framework would not extend to ordinary spot crypto exchanges.

The legislative failure it responds to is recorded in 2026-09-15–senate-cloture-fails-clarity-act-crypto-market-structure-dies.
