🚨 BREAKING: US Approves Regulated Equity Perps for the First Time
CFTC Chair Michael Selig announced Tuesday that single-stock perpetual futures can now trade on registered US exchanges, the first approval of its kind. Venues including Coinbase Derivatives, Kalshi, Bitnomial and Crypto.com's OG.com, all notice-registered with the SEC, are cleared to list perpetual contracts on individual stocks.
Why this matters for crypto: perps were born in crypto. Offshore venues built a multi-trillion-dollar market on a product US traders could only reach abroad. Now the same product goes onshore under US regulation, with joint CFTC-SEC coordination ending years of jurisdictional deadlock.
This is a structural win for regulated derivatives and a direct challenge to offshore dominance. But approval is not launch: listing standards still need clearing, and leveraged single-stock perps carry the same liquidation risk crypto traders know well. Watch which venue lists first, and whether volume actually migrates onshore.
🔑 Bottom line: the US just legitimized the product crypto invented. That is a milestone, not a trade signal.
📌 Sharing personal opinions only, not financial advice or a recommendation to buy/sell. Crypto is highly risky; DYOR and you are solely responsible. No coin promotion.
