The Commodity Futures Trading Commission revised its crypto related FAQs to specify how digital assets may be used as collateral within derivatives markets. The updated guidelines also provide a framework for the use of blockchain technology to fulfill federal recordkeeping requirements and address the handling of customer funds invested in tokenized assets.

Chairman Michael Selig stated that the updates are intended to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. The revisions were released on September 24 to clarify the agency's stance on the integration of onchain technology into regulated financial operations.
