The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is starting discussions on how to respond to the spread of AI trading, Crypto in America reported. The CFTC’s innovation task force plans to hold its first Frontier Forum on Super Intelligence on Wednesday, local time, to discuss the impact of advanced AI on U.S. financial markets and regulatory challenges in overseeing autonomous AI trading.
CFTC Chairman Michael Selig will open the forum, with representatives from Tempo, Hedera and Chainlink set to attend from the crypto industry. The discussions come as autonomous payments by AI agents using blockchain and stablecoins emerge as a new use case.
Meanwhile, the crypto industry is asking the U.S. SEC to clarify crypto-related rules as the CLARITY Act has made no legislative progress in Congress. In comment letters on the SEC’s proposed “Regulation Crypto Assets,” industry participants requested clear standards on when a token ceases to be linked to an investment contract, how secondary-market trading should be treated, and whether network upgrades and token buybacks trigger securities-law obligations.
Coinbase called for higher fundraising limits through token issuance and clearer rules on airdrops and network rewards. Law firm Cahill Gordon & Reindel argued the current proposal alone makes it difficult for secondary-market participants to determine whether regulations apply and said an additional safe harbor is needed.
