Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 12 — According to The Block, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on March 11, committing to strengthen coordination and cooperation in supporting legitimate innovation, maintaining market integrity, and protecting investors’ rights.

The two agencies stated that one of the cooperation priorities is to jointly develop federal policies to create a “flexible regulatory framework” for cryptocurrencies and other emerging technologies, and pledged to coordinate efforts to facilitate the lawful introduction of crypto asset products and eliminate related barriers.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said that longstanding disputes over regulatory authority, duplicate registration requirements, and rule differences have suppressed innovation and driven market participants to other jurisdictions. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that this MOU aims to promote regulatory framework coordination and unification between the two agencies to achieve comprehensive, seamless financial market oversight.
