U.S. Regulators Explore Perpetual Contracts for Domestic Market

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are exploring the introduction of perpetual contracts to the U.S. market. Currently, these contracts are primarily traded in offshore crypto markets due to regulatory hurdles within the United States. If implemented, new regulations would allow for the listing of compliant perpetual contracts on trading platforms overseen by SEC and CFTC. This change aims to curb capital outflow to international exchanges while offering U.S. traders access to transparent leverage limits and robust risk management tools.
