Key Takeaways
- The SEC and CFTC are holding a joint roundtable on September 29 to discuss regulatory priorities.
- Executives from major traditional exchanges (Intercontinental Exchange, CME Group, Nasdaq) and leaders from crypto platforms (Kraken, Polymarket, Kalshi) will participate.
The SEC released the agenda for its joint roundtable with the CFTC scheduled for September 29, featuring executives from major traditional exchanges alongside leaders from crypto platforms Kraken and prediction markets Polymarket and Kalshi.
Panel participants include Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, Terry Duffy, CEO of CME Group, and Adena Friedman, CEO of Nasdaq. The roundtable aims to discuss regulatory harmonization priorities between traditional finance and digital asset platforms.
The event builds on the agencies’ September 2 joint statement clarifying that registered exchanges can facilitate trading of certain spot commodity products. That announcement signaled progress toward regulatory clarity for markets bridging traditional and crypto assets.
The roundtable represents a shift from past regulatory tensions, following the SEC’s series of crypto-focused events in 2025. Earlier this year, the agency held roundtables on tokenization and crypto regulation featuring Chairman Paul Atkins, aimed at harmonizing rules amid growing adoption of on-chain assets.
