SEC and CFTC to Meet on Harmonizing Crypto Rules
Commentary by Steven Lofchie
The SEC and CFTC will host a joint event to discuss regulatory harmonization and efforts to establish the United States as the "crypto capital of the world." The event is scheduled for January 27, 2026.
The session will focus on realigning regulatory boundaries that the agencies described as "unclear in application" and based on "legacy jurisdictional silos," with a specific focus on ensuring innovation under American law. The agenda features an introduction by SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins and opening remarks from CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig, followed by a joint fireside chat.
