Lesson Overview

5.6 – The Role of the CFTC in Crypto Markets: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) classifies Bitcoin and Ether as commodities, giving it authority over futures, options, and derivatives trading. Its mission is to prevent manipulation and maintain integrity in U.S. commodity markets. The CFTC oversees crypto exchanges that offer leveraged products or contracts based on digital assets. It also enforces anti-fraud measures and coordinates with the SEC to manage overlapping jurisdiction. This distinction between securities and commodities defines how DeFi protocols and trading platforms operate legally. The CFTC promotes innovation while ensuring fair competition, making its stance central to crypto’s institutional growth.
