A growing push for blockchain adoption in regulated finance is gaining momentum as U.S. agencies consider tokenized solutions for traditional markets. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on Sept. 23 the launch of a new initiative designed to enable the use of tokenized collateral, including stablecoins, in derivatives markets.

This initiative stems from recommendations in the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report and builds on the CFTC’s earlier Crypto CEO Forum held in February. Stakeholders are invited to provide input by Oct. 20. Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham stated

The public has spoken: tokenized markets are here, and they are the future. For years I have said that collateral management is the ‘killer app’ for stablecoins in markets.

“Today, we are finally moving forward on the work of the CFTC’s Global Markets Advisory Committee from last year. I’m excited to announce the launch of this initiative to work closely with stakeholders to enable the use of tokenized collateral including stablecoins,” she explained. “The CFTC continues to move full speed ahead at the cutting edge of responsible innovation, and I appreciate the support of our industry partners.” Pham underscored that tokenized collateral could modernize infrastructure and enhance capital efficiency across U.S. markets.

Industry executives also weighed in. Circle President Heath Tarbert noted the GENIUS Act would allow stablecoins like USDC to be used in derivatives markets, unlocking liquidity while lowering risk. Coinbase’s Greg Tusar described stablecoins as “the future of money,” and Ripple’s Jack McDonald said clear rules would strengthen trust and resilience. Crypto.com’s Kris Marszalek endorsed the CFTC’s approach to non-cash collateral such as bitcoin and CRO. The CFTC will consider feedback on pilot programs, potential regulatory amendments, and digital asset frameworks before moving forward.
