- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on December 11, 2025, the withdrawal of its 2020 interpretive guidance regarding the criteria for 'actual delivery' in crypto trades, reflecting significant shifts in the cryptocurrency market and trading practices.
- This decision is pivotal for the CFTC as it aligns regulatory frameworks with the evolving landscape of digital assets, potentially facilitating more flexible trading practices and encouraging innovation within the sector.
