CFTC Chair Says Single-Stock Perpetual Futures Cleared for Trading on Qualifying DCMs

CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig said single-stock perpetual futures contracts had been approved for trading for the first time on qualifying designated contract markets, according to a statement relayed by BlockBeats.

Regulatory structure

The statement said the qualifying markets are also registered with the SEC as notice-registered national securities exchanges and may trade security futures products.

Scope remains unspecified

The flash did not name a designated contract market, list eligible stocks, provide a launch date or disclose contract specifications. It describes a regulatory approval framework rather than a recommendation or a guarantee that a particular product is already available to trade.
