The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced a no-action position exempting non-custodial software providers from registering as brokers, as long as they meet certain conditions. This move, expanding on a March decision for Phantom Technologies, allows these software developers to facilitate user trading with regulated entities without holding funds or making trade decisions. The change is expected to boost crypto and prediction market trading by enabling safer access through regulated partners. Industry leaders see this as a significant regulatory relief that could encourage innovation and consumer protection in financial services.
