BlockBeats News, December 27th, as the Trump administration enters its second year in office, a shift in the US crypto regulatory landscape is occurring. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), after previous jurisdictional games, are now moving towards closer collaboration to advance crypto regulation together.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is promoting the "Token Classification Framework," Project Crypto, and an innovation exemption mechanism, and has approved listing standards for multiple crypto ETFs, while also prioritizing asset tokenization in regulation.

The CFTC is accelerating rule clarification through "Crypto Sprint" and is expected to play a more central role in regulating crypto commodities, such as Bitcoin, under newly appointed Chairman Michael Selig.

The industry believes that in 2026, the US crypto regulation will present a dual-track pattern of SEC institutional innovation and CFTC-led market expansion. Former SEC senior lawyer Howard Fischer pointed out that this is the first time in his memory that the two major institutions have advanced crypto regulation in a highly cooperative manner, and they expect this collaboration to dominate the regulatory agenda in 2026.
