The SEC and CFTC will hold their first joint roundtable meeting in 14 years.

[The SEC and CFTC will hold their first joint roundtable in 14 years] The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold a joint roundtable today (September 29) at 1 PM at the SEC headquarters, marking the first time in 14 years that the two agencies have jointly hosted such an event. This is the first joint initiative launched by sister agencies in 14 years to coordinate a regulatory framework for common priorities such as cryptocurrencies and prediction markets. The last joint roundtable was held on August 1, 2011, focusing on cross-border issues in swap regulation. Secondly, this marks the first time that leaders of major Wall Street exchanges have sat down with their digital counterparts to discuss market operations together. For an industry that has long been viewed as fringe, this is a remarkable shift and a clear signal that cryptocurrency now has a place in the broader financial system.
