The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a notice stating that cash Bitcoin purchases could fall under its futures trading framework if a financing offer applies, regardless of whether the buyer pays in full. The notice clarifies that simply declining to borrow does not exempt a purchase if a financing offer is available. An exception may exist for actual delivery within 28 days or a longer period set by the CFTC, with meaningful control over the crypto (such as access to private keys) being a key factor. This notice is preliminary and open for public comment until December 14, as the CFTC explores how to apply the Commodity Exchange Act to retail crypto transactions.
