CFTC Grants No-Action Relief to Phantom for Crypto Wallet Trading Access

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has provided no-action relief to Phantom, enabling its wallet software to facilitate trading without requiring broker registration.

Under certain conditions, Phantom can now operate more freely, which may encourage innovation in the crypto space. The action reflects a growing recognition of the need for regulatory flexibility in the evolving cryptocurrency market.
