By aligning their efforts, both agencies aspire to broaden the trading options available to market participants in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collective statement urges exchanges to cooperate with SEC and CFTC personnel as they get ready to submit essential registrations and proposals for trading these offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The regulatory structure set forth by the Commodity Exchange Act mandates certain leveraged, margined, or financed retail commodity transactions to occur on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/tron-cuts-network-fees-by-60\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">designated contract markets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (DCMs) or foreign trade boards (FBOTs) that are registered with the CFTC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonetheless, an exception exists for retail transactions listed on SEC-registered national securities exchanges (NSEs).
