Definition ∞ CFTC Initiatives refer to actions taken by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to oversee derivatives markets, including those involving digital assets. These efforts aim to establish clear guidelines for commodity-classified cryptocurrencies, combat fraud, and maintain market integrity within its jurisdiction. The CFTC’s focus extends to supervision of futures, options, and swaps tied to digital commodities.
Context ∞ Current CFTC initiatives often center on classifying specific digital assets as commodities and enforcing rules against unregistered platforms or manipulative practices. Ongoing discussions involve the extent of CFTC authority over spot crypto markets versus the SEC’s jurisdiction over crypto securities. Future developments will likely shape regulatory clarity and market structure for crypto derivatives.
