The US declares itself the "crypto capital"... The CFTC accelerates regulatory reforms under Trump's leadership.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has declared the United States the “Crypto Capital of the World” and is accelerating its regulatory modernization process aimed at gaining dominance in blockchain finance.
On the 24th local time, CFTC Chairman Mike Seliger emphasized through the official X (formerly Twitter) that "this is the world's top crypto capital" and "the best place to build the most vibrant digital asset ecosystem." He commented that the regulatory improvements being pursued by the CFTC are being achieved under the strong leadership of President Trump, and stated that "the future of on-chain finance must be Made in America."
The CFTC is the federal agency responsible for overseeing the derivatives and commodities markets in the United States, and it has recently launched a comprehensive policy initiative specifically for digital assets. Chairman Mike Seliger will be nominated by President Trump in October 2025 and will officially take office in early 2026.
Since the Trump administration took office, the CFTC has significantly strengthened its strategy regarding digital assets. In August of last year, it launched the "Crypto Sprint" project to set the direction for regulation; in December of the same year, it approved spot trading of Bitcoin (BTC) in regulated markets, thus advancing the process of integrating digital assets into the mainstream financial system.
Chairman Selig advocates for a "minimum effective dose of regulation." His position is to balance investor protection and market order without stifling innovation.
He also recently announced a new regulatory reform plan called "Future-Proof," which focuses on establishing a new institutional framework covering emerging financial technologies such as digital assets, perpetual futures, and prediction markets.
This declaration of a "crypto capital" is interpreted as a strong indication of the United States' determination not to relinquish its position as a global center for digital financial innovation. Especially when combined with the Trump administration's pro-cryptocurrency policies, market expectations have further increased. Industry insiders believe that this policy direction will have a positive impact on the growth of domestic projects and investment attraction in the medium to long term.
