Initially, the pilot program will be limited to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the stablecoin USDC. Pham emphasized that embracing responsible innovation ensures that U.S. markets remain global leaders and helps unlock economic growth in the country. Futures commission merchants participating in the crypto collateral project are required to report the total amount of digital assets held in customer accounts weekly. This includes futures and cleared swaps, as well as any significant operational or system issues affecting digital asset collateral.#CFTC #DigitalAssetPilotProgram #Cryptocurrencies #Bitcoin #Ethereum #USDC #Collateral #DerivativesMarket #ResponsibleInnovation #FuturesCommissionMerchants #CryptoCollateral #EconomicGrowth #BTC #ETH
