CFTC OPENS 60-DAY WINDOW ON CRYPTO RULES

The CFTC published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on October 5, covering two new regulations called Crypto Asset Transactions and Crypto Asset Markets, and opened a 60-day public comment period. The move lets the agency start writing crypto exchange rules under its existing authority instead of waiting for Congress to act on crypto market-structure legislation. $BTC traders now face two clocks: the CFTC's 60-day comment window, against a congressional track that has produced nothing yet.
