The CFTC RED list consists of the names of cryptocurrency platforms like Bitpay Options, Algobit, and Capital Trading Hub. Many regulatory bodies worldwide believe these sites should be outlawed, especially when it comes to trading binary options. For instance, the U.K. and the E.U. have prohibited dealing in binary options. The notification outlines the potential grounds for adding a company to the list, which primarily relates to doing business with entities not registered with the agency while trading binary options and foreign currency, among other things.
Several financial agencies in the United States seek to regulate cryptocurrencies, including the CFTC. The increase in crypto use and the recent market meltdown caused by well-known events have encouraged the nation to focus more on crypto regulation. As a result, they are working together on many market-related issues. For instance, while the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is working on securities legislation for the cryptocurrency market, the U.S. Treasury is concentrating on stablecoin regulation.
