The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, under Trump's leadership, announced the 'Cryptocurrency Capital'... Accelerating U.S. digital asset regulation reform

The United States Declares Itself the “Crypto Capital”… CFTC Accelerates Regulatory Reforms Under Trump’s Leadership

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced the U.S. as the “Global Crypto Capital” and is accelerating the modernization of regulations aimed at gaining dominance in blockchain finance.

On the 24th local time, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig emphasized via official X (formerly Twitter): “This is the world’s top crypto capital,” “the best place to build the most vibrant digital asset ecosystem.” He commented that the regulatory improvements promoted by the CFTC are made possible under President Trump’s strong leadership, and stated that “the future of on-chain finance must be Made in America.”

The CFTC is the federal agency responsible for supervising derivatives and commodity markets within the United States. Recently, it has fully launched a dedicated digital asset policy. Chairman Mike Selig was nominated by President Trump in October 2025 and officially took office in early 2026.

Since the Trump administration took office, the CFTC has significantly strengthened its strategy in the digital asset sector. In August last year, it launched the “Crypto Sprint” project to set regulatory directions; in December of the same year, it approved activities such as spot trading of Bitcoin (BTC) within regulated markets, advancing the integration of digital assets into mainstream finance.

Chairman Selig advocates for the “minimum effective dose of regulation.” His stance is to balance innovation with investor protection and market order.

He recently announced a new regulatory reform plan called “Future-Proof.” This plan focuses on establishing a new institutional framework covering emerging financial technologies such as digital assets, perpetual futures, and prediction markets.

This declaration of the “Crypto Capital” is interpreted as a strong indication that the U.S. is determined not to miss its position as a global center of digital financial innovation. Especially when combined with the pro-cryptocurrency policies led by the Trump government, market expectations have further increased. Industry insiders believe that such policy directions will have a positive impact on the growth of domestic projects and attracting investments in the medium to long term.
