According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is retracting outdated and overly complex guidelines related to digital asset delivery. Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced that the agency will withdraw the 2020 guidance under the Dodd-Frank Act, a federal law enacted in 2010 to address the 2008 financial crisis. The guidance focused on the 'actual delivery' of digital assets. Pham stated that this move is part of recommendations from the President's Working Group on Financial Markets report on digital assets. This summer, the White House released an extensive report on cryptocurrency, addressing issues such as illicit finance and taxation, and suggested granting the CFTC authority to regulate digital assets. 'Today's announcement demonstrates that decisive action can make tangible progress in facilitating Americans' access to safe U.S. markets, thereby protecting their interests,' Pham said on Thursday.
