Crypto News: Wu Shuo learned that the Blockchain Association, a U.S. crypto industry organization, submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It suggested allowing tokenized assets that meet risk standards and payment stablecoins to be used for margin and settlement, and adjusting the rules to accommodate 24/7 trading, real-time clearing, and on-chain recordkeeping. The association also called for establishing clear review procedures for registering decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain-related services, and said that front ends, non-custodial wallets, and software providers that have not actually taken on custodial or trading intermediary functions should not be deemed financial intermediaries solely for that reason.

Do non-custodial wallets count as intermediaries? Finally, someone has written common sense into an opinion letter

A regulatory mess that conflates custody and the front end—it's about time it got sorted out.

On-chain records serve as settlement receipts—if this is implemented, half of the auditing industry would be out of jobs.

The proposal is very promising; it’s just that you’re afraid it will end up becoming “supported in principle, and we’ll study the details later.”

If the CFTC actually takes this seriously, the DeFi front end won’t have to take the blame anymore.
