Today, the @CFTC took an important step toward bringing regulated onchain markets to the United States: firms can now keep required records on a public blockchain without being required to maintain a separate offchain copy.
The CFTC also clarified that firms can invest customer funds in tokenized versions of investments that are already permitted.
That matters because a regulated firm can now use a public blockchain as its system of record, where every entry is transparent, tamper-evident, and verifiable by anyone. Those are the assurances the CFTCโs recordkeeping rules exist to provide, and public blockchains deliver them by design.
In July, HPC and @phantom asked the CFTC to provide this clarity. Today, the CFTC delivered.
