How the SECs lack of leadership could facilitate crypto rulemaking

After US lawmakers failed to pass a comprehensive digital asset market structure bill, financial regulators stepped up efforts to change rules around the oversight and enforcement of crypto companies and offerings.　　However, the two primary regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), are understaffed at the leadership level, leaving the decisions for regulating aspects of the $3 trillion crypto market largely in the hands of just three individuals, two of whom were nominated by US President Donald Trump.　　At the SEC, two commissioners — Chair Paul Atkins and former Acting Chair Mark Uyeda — remain following the departure of Commissioner Hester Peirce earlier this month. The dearth of leadership at the CFTC is even more stark, with Michael Selig serving as the only Senate-confirmed chair and commissioner since December 2025. The agencies are intended to each have five commissioners.　　Both agencies have proposed rules that appear to be attempting to take the place of legislation from Congress in regulating cryptocurrencies.　　The SEC proposed rules to provide companies with a safe harbor from tokens being treated as “investment contracts” in August, and the CFTC followed suit in October, with Selig saying the agency would use its “existing statutory authorities”

Australia moves to close crypto derivatives loophole after retail traders lose A$458 million

Australias markets regulator proposed extending retail leverage restrictions to crypto-settled derivatives amid mounting losses among investors trading risky financial products.　　On Oct. 12, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) announced it wants to expand its existing contracts-for-difference (CFD) rules to cover qualifying derivatives settled through digital assets, closing a regulatory gap that lets economically similar products face different restrictions.　　The proposal follows ASICs finding that 68% of retail CFD clients lost money during the 2023–24 financial year, with combined losses exceeding A$458 million ($325 million), including A$73 million in fees. The figures cover CFD trading across asset classes, rather than cryptocurrency derivatives alone.　　The Australian regulator is also seeking to extend its existing investor protections for another decade, keeping them in force until 2037, subject to government approval.　　Australia targets leveraged crypto products and margin practices　　Under ASICs existing framework, CFDs are generally covered when transactions are settled in cash or through offsetting obligations between counterparties.　　However, some derivatives with similar characteristics can settle through transfers of digital assets, potentially placing them outside the current product intervention order.　　ASIC wants to eliminate that distinction by extending the definition to qualifying digitally settled contracts, regardless of whether their underlying exposure is linked to cryptocurrencies, traditional assets, interest
