The CEO Innovation Council is set to discuss a range of topics, including tokenized assets, crypto products, round-the-clock trading, futures markets for digital assets, prediction markets, and the use of blockchain within traditional market structures.

Pham noted that this council builds on the CFTC's previous efforts, such as the Crypto CEO Forum and its collaborative initiatives with other regulators, and stressed the importance of input from industry experts when making decisions on new markets and technologies.

This initiative is part of the CFTC's broader goals under its "Crypto Sprint", which emerged from the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.

The agenda through August 2026 includes exploring tokenized collateral, stablecoins, listed spot crypto trading, and updated rules for blockchain-based market systems.

The CFTC recently introduced a new pilot program that allows Bitcoin BTC $90,056.89 , Ethereum ETH $3,192.78 , and USDC USDC $1.00 to serve as margin collateral in derivatives markets. What did Pham say? Read the full story.
