The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are holding a joint public roundtable on September 29, 2025, to discuss regulatory harmonization between digital assets and traditional finance (TradFi). This event signifies growing legitimacy for the crypto sector, as leading crypto exchanges like Kraken and Crypto.com will participate alongside prominent TradFi institutions such as Nasdaq and CME. The roundtable will feature three panels exploring collaboration history, platform oversight, and market participant regulation, aiming to clarify roles and reduce regulatory overlap between the SEC and CFTC. Key figures including SEC Chair Paul Atkins and Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham will deliver opening remarks, while former CFTC Chairs will moderate panels featuring industry experts from both crypto and traditional finance. The discussions intend to foster unified regulatory frameworks that could attract institutional investors back to crypto markets and enhance compliance standards. These efforts take place amid ongoing legislative considerations for digital asset market structure and recent shifts in leadership and policies at both agencies favoring cryptocurrency industry development.
