The acting chair of the CFTC recently highlighted what she called real progress in crypto regulation. Caroline Pham pointed to the newly unveiled Digital Assets Pilot Program as proof that the agency isn't just talking—it's taking concrete steps. The program's standout feature? It lets digital assets be used as collateral, a move that could reshape how traders and institutions interact with derivatives markets. This comes as regulators worldwide grapple with how to integrate blockchain-based assets into traditional financial infrastructure without stifling innovation.

Someone is finally getting serious, but it's still too early to say "real progress"; we'll have to see how it unfolds later.

Damn, there's finally some movement, but we still have to see if it can really be implemented later on.

Another round of regulatory show... All talk is nothing but their attempt to incorporate our stuff into their system

Saying all the good words and doing the worst things—I've seen this trick too many times. Wait, using digital assets as collateral? Haha, it's just another new mechanism for taking over. Don't be blinded by the "progress," history tells you that when there's a rebound, you should exit. When someone is hyping it up, it's already time to run. Regulatory friendliness doesn't mean price friendliness. How many people have mixed these two things up. Let's wait for the fall; there will always be a lower point.

Uh, okay, I finally see some actual action, but can using digital assets as collateral really be implemented? Or is this just another round of PPT-style "progress"?

Someone is finally taking serious action, not just talking without doing. Using digital assets as collateral can indeed change the game.

Nah, this time the CFTC finally did something worthwhile, but I still remain skeptical.
