The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced that its Division of Market Oversight (DMO) and Division of Clearing and Risk (DCR) are withdrawing a previous advisory related to virtual currency derivative product listings. This withdrawal is effective immediately and concerns CFTC Staff Advisory No. 18-14.
The decision to withdraw the advisory comes as staff have gained more experience with virtual currency derivative product listings, and as the market has continued to grow and mature. It was determined that the advisory is no longer necessary in this context.
The announcement was made from the CFTC's office located at Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW, Washington, DC.
