U.S. Regulators Consider Introducing Perpetual Contracts to Domestic Market

According to PANews, U.S. regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), are contemplating measures to introduce perpetual contracts into the domestic compliant market. Currently, these contracts are predominantly traded in offshore crypto markets due to regulatory and definitional constraints in the United States. If implemented, the new regulations would permit perpetual contracts that meet investor protection and risk management standards to be listed on trading platforms under SEC and CFTC oversight. This move aims to reduce capital outflow to overseas platforms and provide U.S. traders with products featuring transparent leverage limits and robust risk management.
