CFTC Refreshes Crypto Guidance, Allowing Registered Firms to Invest in Tokenized Assets

AI Market Summary
CFTC guidance now permits registered firms to invest in tokenized assets and signals a clearer U.S. crypto regulatory framework, while parallel moves (Fed stablecoin rules under the Genius Act, EU DeFi certification proposals) raise compliance clarity. Offsetting this, New York's lawsuit against Polymarket increases legal risk for prediction markets. Macro pressure from $100 oil, stronger USD, and rising Treasury yields coincides with BTC drawdowns despite sustained ETF inflows.
