The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has removed its 28-day delivery rule for virtual currencies, a significant regulatory change that facilitates the development of regulated crypto products. Previously, transactions taking longer than 28 days were classified as futures, requiring CFTC oversight. With this rule eliminated, the CFTC is now endorsing regulated leveraged products under the Commodity Exchange Act. This change allows platforms like KuCoin to operate with clearer regulatory guidelines. Additionally, the CFTC has initiated a pilot program permitting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC as collateral in derivatives markets, signaling a progressive approach to crypto regulation.
