CFTC Spot Market Authority refers to the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission over direct, immediate transactions of certain digital assets. While the CFTC primarily oversees derivatives markets, including crypto futures, an extension of its authority would grant it regulatory power over spot trades. This would standardize oversight for these direct purchases and sales.
