The dedicated session involving the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is held on Tuesday 6 February. The written testimonials of Jay Clayton and J. Christopher Giancarlo, presidents of the SEC and CFTC respectively, have been made public.

Cryptocurrency users reacted calmly to the big meeting of US regulators. In lengthy testimonials already available, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton reiterates his concern over the need to distinguish between ICOs as securities and non-securities, and markets remain unprepared for Bitcoin ETFs in Europe.

Clayton declares:

"Investors should understand that to date, no ICO has been registered with the SEC, and the S & C Nor has it approved the listing and trading of exchange-traded products (such as ETFs) holding cryptocurrencies or other cryptocurrency-related assets. To the contrary, investors should be particularly cautious. "

The path to joint discussion with CTFC Chairman Christopher Giancarlo paved the way for a continuous review of cryptocurrency on US markets.

An article co-authored in the Wall Street Journal highlighted the views of two officials on the subject, who appeared at the World Economic Forum 2018 in Davos last month.

During this event, politicians and legislators several jurisdictions expressed the desire for an international regulatory effort on cryptography, which should occupy a central place at the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires in March .
