SEC and CFTC Weigh Moving Into Same Washington Complex—But Don't Call It a Merger

The SEC and CFTC might soon be neighbors. According to sources familiar with the talks, Wall Street's two top watchdogs are discussing plans to relocate into the same Washington office complex, just a stone's throw from the Capitol. The idea? Move the CFTC into the building where the SEC already sits, near Union Station.

Before anyone gets excited about a regulatory super-entity, the sources make one thing clear: this isn't about merging the agencies. They'd stay separate. They'd just be... closer. Think of it as co-working, not consolidation.

The conversations have been going on since last year, and the GSA—the folks who handle federal real estate—are in the loop. But don't expect moving vans anytime soon. Earliest estimate? 2027.
