SEC CFTC jurisdiction refers to the division of regulatory authority between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over digital assets. The SEC generally oversees assets deemed securities, while the CFTC regulates those classified as commodities or derivatives. This jurisdictional split creates complexities for cryptocurrency projects and market participants.
Context
The delineation of SEC CFTC jurisdiction is a persistent and evolving challenge for the digital asset industry in the United States. A key discussion involves clarifying which specific digital assets fall under each agency’s purview, impacting their issuance, trading, and oversight. Future legislative actions or judicial rulings may provide greater clarity on these regulatory boundaries.
