Wall Street’s top market regulators are looking to better align U.S. rules across agencies.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Friday that they’ll hold a Sept. 29 roundtable to discuss “regulatory harmonization.” Those efforts might include streamlining margin and capital frameworks, reporting standards, and harmonizing product and venue definitions, the agencies said in a press statement.
“By working in lockstep, our two agencies can harness our nation’s unique regulatory structure into a source of strength for market participants, investors and Americans,” said SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham.
The announcement follows on the agencies’ shared announcement earlier this week that staff at both agencies want to engage with industry on the trading of some spot-crypto products on both SEC and CFTC-regulated exchanges.
