The US SEC and CFTC are planning to relocate to the same office location, but this is not a merger plan.
CoinFeed reported on March 7 that, according to sources familiar with the matter, Wall Street's two top regulatory bodies, the CFTC and SEC, are discussing plans to relocate to the same building complex in Washington, D.C., just steps from the U.S. Capitol. The SEC and CFTC regulate different markets, and according to these sources, the plan will not merge the two, but rather discuss moving the CFTC to the same building complex currently housing the SEC, near Union Station. This relocation plan has been under discussion since last year, and according to these sources, it could not be implemented until 2027 at the earliest. The General Services Administration, the agency responsible for overseeing federal real estate, is also involved in these discussions.
