CFTC Updates Crypto FAQs, Clarifies Tokenized Investments and Blockchain Recordkeeping
- —The update does not expand the list of assets eligible for customer funds, only explains tokenization of permitted investments
- —Blockchain-based systems can be used for recordkeeping within existing requirements
- —Guidance builds on Staff Letters 25-39 and 26-05 on tokenized collateral
- —CFTC and SEC are accelerating crypto rulemaking after the CLARITY Act delay
Why it matters: Clarity on tokenized collateral and blockchain recordkeeping lowers regulatory risk for institutions and speeds tokenization in traditional markets.
