The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission has launched a “crypto sprint” to begin implementing crypto-related recommendations the Trump administration released on Wednesday.

Acting CFTC chair Caroline Pham said on Friday that the agency would “work closely” with Securities and Exchange Commission chair Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce on its “Project Crypto” initiative announced on Thursday.

“The CFTC is wasting no time in fulfilling President Trump’s vision to make America the crypto capital of the world,” Pham said.

The initiatives are to implement agency-specific recommendations that US President Donald Trump’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets made in a report — which stemmed from Trump’s sweeping crypto-related executive order in January.

Crypto group makes 18 recommendations to CFTC

The President’s Working Group made 18 recommendations to the CFTC, two of which directly concerned the agency.

The first direct request to the CFTC was to advance a host of initiatives, including guidance on how cryptocurrencies could be considered commodities, how its registration requirements would work with decentralized finance and guidance to CFTC-regulated entities on what they can do with crypto.

The other standalone task for the agency was to consider how to amend rules to accommodate blockchain-based derivatives.

An additional 16 recommendations concerning the CFTC were tied up with other financial agencies, such as the SEC and the Treasury.

CFTC and SEC told to work together to police crypto

Some of the notable recommendations the CFTC and SEC were told to work together on included coordinating to create a rulemaking process and using “their existing authorities to provide fulsome regulatory clarity.”

The two agencies were also told they should create a regulatory sandbox and, longer term, should explore how to allow registrants to “offer multiple services within a single user interface.”

Several recommendations tasked Congress with carving out how the CFTC and SEC should divvy up regulating crypto, with the report saying the CFTC should be given “clear authority to regulate spot markets in non-security digital assets.”
