Odaily reports: The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Monday initiated a rulemaking process aimed at establishing a unified federal regulatory framework for leveraged and margin spot trading of crypto assets for retail customers.

The CFTC is considering establishing a new "Crypto Asset Market" registration category through two sets of rules: Regulation CTX and Regulation CAM. Qualifying crypto trading platforms would be able to offer leveraged and margin spot trading to retail users under CFTC oversight, subject to unified federal regulatory standards.

This framework would provide an alternative compliance pathway for crypto exchanges currently operating under state-level licenses. However, the CFTC has made clear that without congressional authorization, the regulator cannot force all crypto asset trading onto CFTC-registered platforms.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that this move is an important step toward continuing to make the United States the "crypto capital of the world," and said American investors need clearer rules, regulatory certainty, and consumer protection.

Overall, the CFTC is attempting to use its existing authority to first establish a federal framework for retail crypto leveraged trading, rather than waiting for Congress to pass comprehensive market structure legislation. If ultimately implemented, U.S. crypto exchanges could for the first time gain a nationally unified regulatory pathway for retail leveraged spot trading, though the CFTC's mandatory jurisdiction over the entire crypto spot market still depends on congressional legislation.

Odaily News — Web3 security firm CertiK today officially released its Intel3D report, "The Rise of AI Employees: How Agentic AI Is Reshaping Cybersecurity, Anti-Money Laundering, and Compliance." The report notes that AI is transitioning from an assistive tool that helps analysts identify issues to a member of the working team capable of conducting investigations, making judgments, and executing remediation tasks within defined permissions. This shift is reshaping security and compliance processes across traditional finance and Web3, and is also raising new requirements for how enterprises supervise AI, define permission boundaries, and allocate responsibility.

The report also cautions that model misjudgments, prompt injection, and adversaries' exploitation of AI may introduce new risks. As AI begins to hold and trade digital assets, its own behavior must also be subject to audit. CertiK recommends that enterprises establish governance mechanisms covering permission boundaries, human approval, decision records, and division of responsibilities, and conduct regular red-team testing; these mechanisms must be improved in tandem with AI's execution capabilities to support "AI employees" in continuously creating value for security and compliance work under supervision and accountability.
