NFA Virtual Currency Disclosure Requirements

Virtual Currency Disclosure Requirements

NFA adopted an Interpretive Notice which establishes disclosure requirements for futures commission merchants (FCM), introducing brokers (IB), commodity pool operators (CPO) and commodity trading advisors (CTA) that engage in activities related to virtual currencies or virtual currency derivatives. The Interpretive Notice will become effective on Wednesday, October 31, 2018.
