Big move from U.S. regulators: Acting CFTC Chair Pham just rolled out a digital assets pilot program. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC can now officially serve as collateral in derivatives trading. This isn't just a policy tweak—it's a regulatory nod that could reshape how institutions approach crypto-backed financial products. The pilot signals growing acceptance of digital assets within traditional market infrastructure. Worth watching how market participants leverage this new framework.

In other words, it can really be seen that the regulatory attitude is changing, using BTC and ETH as derivatives collateral... Mom, this was a fantasy two years ago Institutions have to start thinking seriously about how to play this new set of rules, which is a bit interesting

Damn, they're finally getting serious. Institutions must be thrilled. --- Now traditional finance is completely out of options. --- BTC as collateral? Should have been this way long ago, we've waited so long. --- Pham played this move brilliantly, looks like the regulators are really opening up. --- It's time for institutions to get ready, better be careful not to get rekt. --- Damn, this is paving the way for mainstream adoption. --- Wow, even USDC is being used, stablecoins are making a comeback. --- The derivatives sector is about to change dramatically, better watch carefully before making a move.

Wait, USDC can be used as collateral now? Institutional players won't be able to sit still anymore.

Oh no, the CFTC has really been rattled by the crypto world this time. Now even Bitcoin and Ethereum can be used as collateral. With this policy change, institutions will probably have to recalculate their accounts.

Damn, finally some action. Now institutions can openly get involved. Wait, USDC is allowed too? Then the status of stablecoins is basically cemented. This so-called "regulatory nod" sounds nice, but in reality it's traditional finance bowing its head. That's something.

Finally, there's some action. This should have happened long ago.

Thinking of rushing in just because of regulatory easing? I’ve seen too many scenarios where the price drops right after this kind of “bullish news.” Institutions have long been secretly testing swap agreements.

Here we go again with the same tactic: using regulatory-friendly signals to hype up sentiment. Haven't we learned from history? The people behind the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis said the same thing. [sarcastic smile]
