  The CFTC is actively working to regulate cryptocurrencies in order to protect investors and maintain market integrity. They are implementing stricter regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges, requiring them to register with the CFTC and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) requirements. Additionally, the CFTC is increasing its oversight of cryptocurrency derivatives, such as futures and options, to prevent market manipulation and ensure fair trading practices.
