  The National Futures Association (NFA) is a self-regulatory organization that oversees the activities of the futures industry in the United States. While the NFA primarily focuses on traditional futures markets, it also has some involvement in the regulation of cryptocurrencies and crypto exchanges. The NFA requires any firm or individual engaged in futures-related activities, including those involving cryptocurrencies, to be registered with the organization. This helps ensure that market participants adhere to certain standards and regulations, promoting transparency and investor protection in the crypto industry.
