Overview

• The public meeting will take place Monday, Sept. 29, from 1 to 5:30 p.m. ET at SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C., with a live webcast available.
• Opening remarks are slated from SEC Chair Paul Atkins, Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham, and SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, with closing remarks by Commissioner Hester Peirce.
• Panelists include Jeff Sprecher of ICE, Terry Duffy of CME, Adena Friedman of Nasdaq, Arjun Sethi of Kraken, Shayne Coplan of Polymarket, Tarek Mansour of Kalshi, and Nick Lundgren of Crypto.com.
• Discussions will focus on regulatory harmonization across platforms, market participants, and services, building on recent staff guidance that clarified conditions for certain spot commodity products on registered venues.
• Atkins has denied any plan to merge the two agencies, highlighting compartmentalized cooperation and anticipating joint rulemaking that follows steps such as generic spot crypto ETF listing standards and the GENIUS Act on stablecoins.
