In the 10 key principles, one of the suggestions reportedly urges for an alternative approach, regulatory-wise, for a proposal of a unified regulatory regime for spot and derivatives marketplaces.

“The regulatory label on a given product or market need not change the core goals of regulation, and the same rulesets should generally apply across all markets.”

FTX further explained that the demand for a direct membership market structure, making it possible for establishments to carry out regulated trades, without the need of a third party.

The exchange also recommends a legislation calling for an increase in transparency associated with the custodians of crypto assets, arguing that the platform “users should be given visibility” into the way custodial services aim to tackle problems concerned with fraud and theft.

“A platform operator that permits the use of stable coins for settlement of transactions should be required to explain the standards the platform operator uses in deciding which stable coins it permits for such purposes.” FTX also mentioned the demand for stablecoin issuance regulation.
