The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has officially launched a fast-tracked initiative dubbed “Crypto Sprint” aimed at rapidly implementing the key recommendations from the White House’s latest digital asset strategy.
The move comes just days after President Donald Trump’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets released a sweeping 168-page roadmap designed to bring crypto fully into the U.S. financial mainstream.
Acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham confirmed the agency’s immediate response, stating:
“The CFTC is wasting no time in fulfilling President Trump’s vision to make America the crypto capital of the world. Providing regulatory clarity now and fostering innovation in digital asset markets will deliver on the Administration’s promise to usher in a Golden Age of Crypto.”
Key goals: clarity, custody, and coordination
The Working Group’s report highlighted the urgent need to modernize crypto oversight and included a bold recommendation for Congress to affirm Americans’ right to self-custody their digital assets without intermediaries. It also urged federal agencies to define clear rules for banks engaging in crypto-related activities, while outlining future frameworks for stablecoins, crypto taxation, and national crypto reserves.

Specifically regarding the CFTC, the report advised granting the agency jurisdiction over crypto spot markets for assets classified as commodities. It also called for close coordination with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to remove regulatory confusion for businesses navigating trading, custody, or registration.
A new chapter for U.S. crypto markets
The Crypto Sprint signals a new chapter in U.S. crypto regulation—one that seeks to promote innovation through proactive clarity rather than reactive enforcement. With the Trump administration’s backing and bipartisan pressure mounting in Congress, the CFTC’s accelerated action could shape a more inclusive and competitive crypto landscape in the months ahead.
