Jinse Finance reported that Patrick Witt, the new White House cryptocurrency advisor succeeding Bo Hines, stated that he will urge lawmakers to complete a comprehensive review of U.S. cryptocurrency policy and promote regulatory agencies to implement new stablecoin legislation. Currently, the three main priorities are the Senate's market structure legislative efforts, the rapid implementation of stablecoin legislation (namely the "Guiding and Empowering the Nation to Innovate United States Stablecoins Act" (GENIUS)), and the establishment of a U.S. federal cryptocurrency reserve.

BlockBeats News, on September 9, FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett stated that Caroline D. Pham, Acting Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), said in a recent speech that the agency is studying whether it can recognize overseas cryptocurrency trading platforms that follow sound, crypto-specific regulations (such as the EU's MiCA framework) under the U.S. cross-border regulatory framework. This statement comes shortly after the CFTC recently reaffirmed its long-standing Foreign Board of Trade (FBOTs) framework. This framework allows certain non-U.S. cryptocurrency trading platforms already regulated by foreign regulatory authorities to provide direct trading access to U.S. traders by registering with the CFTC as FBOTs, rather than as Designated Contract Markets (DCM).
