CFTC Guidance Opens Door to Tokenized Assets and Blockchain Records

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is moving forward with guidance on tokenized investments and blockchain recordkeeping for commodities firms, according to CoinDesk.

The regulator’s approach allows firms to invest in tokenized assets and use blockchain technology to maintain records, bringing both practices into the scope of routine industry activity.

The work reflects an ongoing effort by the U.S. derivatives watchdog to clarify how these technologies fit into the sector. The report did not provide details on implementation timelines or specific requirements.
