Learn & Protect

Avoid Fraud

Bitcoin

Resources for market participants and customers on virtual currency and the CFTC's role in oversight of this emerging innovation.

LabCFTC

LabCFTC is the focal point for the CFTC’s efforts to promote responsible financial technology (FinTech) innovation and fair competition for the benefit of the American public. LabCFTC is designed to be the hub for the agency’s engagement with the FinTech innovation community.

RED List

The Registration Deficient List, or RED List, was created to inform customers about unregistered foreign entities. Generally, foreign entities that solicit you to trade are required to register with the CFTC, which means they are subject to CFTC regulations and oversight. Check the list before you trade.
