CFTC to provide crypto clarity if Congress does not act

Reported · Written up by our desk · Market Structure

Decrypt reports that the CFTC is positioned to bring more clarity to crypto regulation if Congress does not move forward on its own legislative efforts.

In the meantime, crypto markets are rising, with Bitcoin nearing the $80,000 level and some alternative tokens also posting strong gains.

Decrypt highlighted continued momentum across major coins and select alts, including Pump and ZEC, which have been moving sharply higher in recent price action.
