"America's financial markets are the envy of the world because they scale and adapt to meet investor demands. Like our markets, the CFTC's and SEC's regulatory frameworks must also evolve and modernize to accommodate the needs of our market participants."
"Under the memorandum, the agencies will formally coordinate on definitions, enforcement priorities, and market supervision when trading products intersect both securities and derivatives law. Regulators say closer alignment should make compliance easier for firms operating across multiple financial sectors."
"This Memorandum of Understanding solidifies the agencies' commitment to harmonize regulatory frameworks to provide comprehensive and seamless financial market oversight. By working together, the agencies reduce friction for market participants while strengthening oversight."
The CFTC and SEC announced a new memorandum of understanding to coordinate supervision of overlapping financial markets, particularly those involving crypto infrastructure, tokenized assets, and prediction markets. The agreement aims to streamline rulemaking, clarify regulatory definitions, and reduce duplicate oversight while addressing financial products that do not fit existing legal categories. Under this framework, both agencies will formally coordinate on definitions, enforcement priorities, and market supervision when trading products intersect securities and derivatives law. Regulators assert this closer alignment will make compliance easier for firms operating across multiple sectors while strengthening overall market oversight and adapting regulatory structures to technological changes reshaping financial markets.
