The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that Chairman Michael S. Selig and US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul S. Atkins will hold a joint event at CFTC headquarters on 27 January to discuss harmonization between the two agencies and efforts tied to President Trump’s stated objective of making the United States the “crypto capital of the world.” The session is positioned as part of broader CFTC-SEC harmonization work to address what the chairs described as unclear and misaligned regulatory boundaries rooted in legacy jurisdictional silos. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. ET and includes an introduction by Atkins, opening remarks by Selig, and a fireside chat moderated by Eleanor Terrett. It will be open to the public and webcast live on the CFTC’s website, with in-person attendance requiring advance registration.
