The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is set to launch regulated crypto perpetual futures contracts in the United States within weeks, according to Chair Michael Selig. Speaking at a Milken Institute panel, Selig highlighted the agency's efforts to bring these derivative contracts, which have no expiration date, to U.S. markets. This move aims to repatriate liquidity currently held by offshore exchanges and foster innovation under domestic oversight. Selig also mentioned forthcoming guidance on crypto-linked prediction markets, reinforcing the CFTC's jurisdiction over event contract platforms. The regulatory shift occurs amid ongoing debates in Washington regarding digital asset market structures and regulatory authority. A market structure bill in Congress could redefine oversight responsibilities between the CFTC and the SEC, though progress is stalled by discussions on stablecoin yield and tokenized equities.
