The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will host an industry roundtable on December 15 to discuss the feasibility of implementing 24/7 trading in derivatives markets. The meeting, held at CFTC headquarters in Washington and streamed publicly, continues the agency's summer initiative seeking public comment on extending trading hours for standard futures contracts and introducing perpetual futures mechanisms.
Agenda topics include overnight trading, asset tokenization, infrastructure development, staffing, and operational readiness, with a focus on protecting market participants' rights while maintaining the integrity and resilience of U.S. derivatives markets. CFTC Chairman Selig stated the regulator will not adopt a "one-size-fits-all" approach to 24/7 trading, emphasizing that the commission aims to gather input from across the industry so trading mechanisms for different asset classes can develop prudently and responsibly. Specific speakers and registration details will be announced at a later date.
