The US CFTC is seeking to further implement protections for non-custodial software developers.
Golden Finance reports that on May 6th, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig stated that the CFTC is considering establishing rules to solidify its stance on protecting non-custodial software developers. In March this year, the CFTC issued a no-action letter regarding the crypto wallet Phantom, indicating that it would not take enforcement action due to its unregistered status as a broker, and clarified that eligible self-custody wallet software developers do not need to register as brokers. Selig said that the CFTC is seeking to formally incorporate this stance into rulemaking.
Additionally, Selig reiterated that prediction markets fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC and will continue to prosecute states that violate federal jurisdiction. The CFTC has previously sued Wisconsin, Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, and New York.
