Today, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) took a major step — directly removing the 2020 guidance document on "actual delivery" of digital assets.

Don’t underestimate this move. The signals behind it may be more important than they appear on the surface.

It all started this year. The CFTC launched a initiative called "Crypto Sprint," approving several exchanges to carry out new businesses, and even the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) began allowing banks to participate in cryptocurrency trading. These actions are actually implementations of recommendations from the presidential working group.

In plain terms, the regulatory attitude is shifting. Those ambiguous gray areas are being gradually cleared. Market uncertainty? It’s decreasing. For crypto players, this is a reassuring sign. The compliance process is speeding up, and traditional institutions will have fewer concerns about entering the space. In the long run, this is a good thing.

But don’t rush to pop the champagne just yet.

Regulatory friendliness ≠ easy profits. Market volatility will still happen, and risks have not decreased at all.

My advice? Three points:

First, pay close attention to policy developments. The exchanges and related projects approved by the CFTC are worth researching in advance. New opportunities often hide in policy gaps.

Second, don’t put all your chips in one basket. Diversify across spot, mainstream coins, and potential tokens — diversification is key. Going all in has never been a good idea.

Third, stay calm. No matter how explosive the news, don’t lose your rationality. Set your stop-loss levels and stick to them — don’t let impulsiveness ruin your long-term plans.

Overall, this regulatory adjustment seems more like a sign of the crypto market maturing. Opportunities are increasing, but risks are never gone. Players need to learn how to find their rhythm in this new environment.
