CFTC agenda adds blockchain and digital-asset rulemaking
Regulation · · Ketju Research
This entry records an official signal, such as a speech or a statement. It does not change the law.
What changed
The July 2026 Unified Agenda first lists a CFTC proposal to amend regulations for blockchain-based trading systems and digital assets, with an anticipated July 2026 NPRM. No matching proposal appeared in the audited Federal Register window.
Who it affects
- Investment advisers and compliance teams
- fund sponsors and asset managers
- regulated intermediaries within the described rulemaking perimeter
What is still open
- Whether and when the agency will publish an NPRM
- The proposal text, scope, exemptions, transition period, and final outcome
What it means for an advisor
- Track RIN 3038-AF66 and the Federal Register; preserve current controls because Unified Agenda entries are nonbinding planning signals.
