According to BlockBeats, the U.S. crypto regulatory landscape is undergoing significant changes as the Trump administration advances new appointments and legislative efforts. Mike Selig, nominated by U.S. President Donald Trump for the position of Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is set to attend a confirmation hearing before the Senate Agriculture Committee on November 19. Concurrently, Congress is reviewing a new bill that aims to grant the CFTC primary regulatory authority over digital asset spot markets. This development marks a legislative attempt to delineate regulatory responsibilities between the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), following years of overlapping jurisdiction and enforcement disputes. The bill, spearheaded by Senators John Boozman and Cory Booker, seeks to expand the CFTC's authority over digital commodities and establish a formal collaboration mechanism with the SEC. It also proposes new budgetary resources to support the enforcement of spot market regulations. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has indicated that the commission is working on a 'token taxonomy' based on the Howey Test, aiming to clarify when tokens are not considered securities and coordinating with the CFTC on other aspects. This reflects a shift in the SEC's focus towards securities attributes, leaving other areas to the CFTC. Senator Boozman has publicly stated that the CFTC is the appropriate agency to regulate digital commodity spot trading, while Senator Booker emphasized the bill's provision of new powers and resources necessary for market regulation. As the roles of the two agencies become more defined, the regulatory structure is gradually taking shape, with the SEC concentrating on securities and the CFTC handling digital commodity spot markets. The Senate Agriculture Committee has scheduled Selig's hearing for November 19 at the Dirksen Senate Office Building G50, indicating a swift progression in Washington's efforts to restructure the regulatory team and framework. The bill also includes provisions for digital commodity platform registration, customer fund segregation, conflict of interest management, and fee structures, aiming to establish a comprehensive federal regulatory framework. Following the announcement, market reactions have been subdued, with traders focusing on the upcoming hearing and the SEC's anticipated release of new rule proposals. While the regulatory direction for the crypto industry remains partially unclear, discussions around 'division of labor' and 'boundaries' are closer to formalization than ever before. The outcome of this long-standing debate will hinge on the November 19 hearing.
