CFTC Set to Approve Crypto Perpetual Futures The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is preparing to authorize perpetual futures contracts for cryptocurrencies within the coming weeks, according to Bloomberg. This regulatory move would mark a significant expansion of crypto derivatives trading in the United States, allowing traders to hold leveraged positions indefinitely without expiration dates. The approval represents a major shift in how the CFTC approaches digital asset regulation and could accelerate institutional adoption of crypto trading products. Currently, crypto futures offerings in the U.S. are limited to traditional expiring contracts. Perpetual futures, already popular on offshore exchanges, enable traders to maintain positions with ongoing funding payments rather than settlement dates.
