SEC and CFTC Set Sept. 29 Joint Roundtable on Digital-Asset Regulation — What Bitcoin Investors Need to Know

On September 29, 2025 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. ET, the SEC and CFTC will host a joint roundtable to examine opportunities for regulatory coordination across the U.S. digital-asset landscape, according to the agencies’ official statement. The session is positioned to offer clarity to market participants, investors and the public while leveraging the unique U.S. regulatory structure.

SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins and CFTC Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham said the prior joint staff statement on products involving digital assets was an initial step; the agencies indicated they will consider harmonizing product and trading-platform definitions, streamlining reporting and data standards, unifying capital and margin frameworks, and establishing a coordinated innovation exemption mechanism.
