The CFTC updated its crypto FAQs to permit tokenised customer funds and blockchain recordkeeping, days after the Senate's failed CLARITY Act vote.

  • The CFTC has updated its crypto FAQs, allowing regulated firms to hold customer funds in tokenized form and utilize blockchain for recordkeeping.
  • This guidance permits tokenized assets that grant holders equivalent legal and economic rights to traditional ones, aiming to modernize derivatives markets and improve efficiency.
