Introduced in 2023, these advisories had hinted at a more stringent approach to regulating crypto products. However, with the latest withdrawal, the CFTC aims to ensure that digital asset derivatives are treated in the same way as traditional financial instruments, like those found on the Ethereum network.<\/p>\n<p>This decision eliminates the regulatory distinctions between traditional finance (TradFi) and digital assets, paving the way for greater participation from institutional investors in the crypto space. As a result, the crypto derivatives market could see improved liquidity and more established market dynamics, helping it grow and mature. However, the CFTC has stressed that while the regulations have been relaxed, clearing organizations must still account for the unique risks that digital products pose.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-could-hit-150000-by-year-end-says-financial-expert\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Could Hit $150,000 by Year-End, Says Financial Expert\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/bitcoin-price-rocket-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin Could Hit $150,000 by Year-End, Says Financial Expert<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>This regulatory shift comes on the heels of another key development: the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) recently allowed U.S. banks to offer services related to cryptocurrencies and stablecoins without needing prior approval. The OCC, however, made it clear that banks must still adhere to strong risk management practices similar to those required for traditional banking.<\/p>\n<p>While the CFTC\u2019s decision marks a major departure from previous crypto regulations, it aligns with a broader trend among U.S. financial regulators to facilitate innovation within the cryptocurrency space, all while maintaining prudent risk management standards. This evolving approach highlights a balance between embracing new financial technologies and ensuring the stability of the broader financial system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has taken a significant step by revoking a previous directive that had suggested
