🚨 CME vs Hyperliquid: The US on the brink of legalizing perps!
In the US, a war has erupted over the derivatives market. CME Group, a giant exchange operator, has filed a lawsuit against the regulator CFTC, trying to block perpetual futures (perpetuals) for Coinbase and Kalshi, calling them a «disaster» for the market.
However, Hyperliquid Policy Center stepped in to defend the CFTC, together with the former US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar. They stated directly that CME is simply afraid of competition and is trying to stifle innovations it itself is unable to implement.
A win for the CFTC in this court case means the final legalization of perps in the US and a green light for a major DEX platform event to enter the American market.
Does CME genuinely see risks, or is it just protecting its monopoly from DEX?

U.S. institutions want to play the long game with perpetual futures—and they don’t necessarily have to wait until a “U.S. version of an exchange” gets approved first.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) obtained CFTC Regulation 48.10 authorization as of the 9/10 criteria:
U.S.-based firms can directly connect to its BTC / ETH perpetual order book.
KC Lam (Head of Crypto Derivatives at SGX) told CoinDesk very plainly: “It wasn’t possible before, now it is.”
Gate and PANews cross-checked and confirmed.

The trading interface has actually been live for a while.
Since late November 2025 go-live, cumulative totals are about $5.8 billion and roughly 400,000 contracts;
In August, average daily volume is about 1,300 contracts, with nominal notional around $19 million;
BTC remains the main driver (OI≈66%, daily volume≈83%).

But don’t write it as “you can place orders tonight.”
With authorization in hand, U.S. clearing members are still onboarding—officially, the timeline is in the next 1–2 months; on the client side, the common expectation is 2–4 weeks.
The mechanics are also more like traditional futures: variation margin / additional margin calls, no automatic liquidations, and stablecoins are not used as collateral.

In this round, Binance was rechecked (Beijing time ~01:11): BTC≈77192 / ETH≈2452.

I think this is more like “overseas-compliant perpetuals opened a window for U.S.-based capital,” not another piece of trading-news hype.
Next, watch: whether real trading volume truly ramps up, and when futures/options that include expiry dates go live.

Not investment advice.

Citadel Securities officially stated its position on the regulatory jurisdiction for event contracts and perpetual derivatives: for products linked to U.S.-listed companies and their securities, the SEC should have primary regulatory authority, and exchanges cannot bypass review by relying on self-certification.

It also calls on the SEC to improve the efficiency of filings for new products, so that regulatory gaps or overlapping jurisdiction do not become channels for market arbitrage.

The core dispute is this: are equity-linked event contracts securities or commodities? And how should perpetual derivatives be classified? If the SEC and the CFTC do not promptly draw clear boundaries, both traditional finance and the crypto derivatives market could be affected.

Prediction market platform Kalshi has received approval from the U.S. CFTC and will launch perpetual gold and silver contracts on September 10. The key point is not just that “two more trading products” have been added, but that this is the first non-crypto perpetual contract product approved by the CFTC. Previously, Kalshi received approval at the end of May to offer crypto perpetual contracts; its related notional trading volume has already reached $44 billion.

This means the trading mechanism of perpetual contracts—one that has been proven workable in the crypto market—is now being formally accepted into the traditional financial regulatory framework. After gold and silver, if assets such as stock indexes and foreign exchange follow suit, the logic behind traditional futures positions, margin, and funding rates could all be reshaped, and long-established exchanges like CME may face more direct competition.

For the crypto industry, this is not merely a diversion of capital, but an important validation that the Perp model is entering mainstream assets.#Kalshi #CFTC #永续合约

Citadel Securities’ statement on SEC and CFTC joint product definition consultation: for products linked to U.S.-listed companies or their securities, the primary regulatory authority should rest with the SEC; exchanges cannot bypass review by relying on self-certification mechanisms. It also calls for the SEC to improve the efficiency and predictability of reviews for filings of new products.

A key dispute is how equity-linked event contracts and perpetual derivatives should be classified. This is not only a question for Wall Street equity products; it could also affect the regulatory boundary for U.S. perpetual contracts. If regulation draws the line based on “economic substance” rather than product names, the licensing pathway and compliance costs for crypto platforms expanding their business in the U.S. would become clearer.

Citadel Securities responds to SEC and CFTC’s joint product definition consultation: for products linked to U.S.-listed companies and their securities, the SEC should have primary regulatory authority; exchanges should not circumvent SEC oversight through self-certification mechanisms. The document also calls on the SEC to improve the efficiency and timeliness of new product registration and review.

The core dispute is how equity-linked event contracts and perpetual derivatives should be classified—and which regulator should oversee them. If the scope of SEC jurisdiction expands, the listing pathways, disclosure requirements, and compliance obligations for relevant products could all be affected, and crypto-related perpetual derivatives would be hard to exempt.

This is not only a question of how responsibilities are divided between two regulatory agencies; it also determines how traditional securities rules extend to new trading structures. Further developments are worth monitoring.

#SEC #CFTC #Regulatory update

Citadel Securities’ latest statement directly addresses the dispute over regulatory jurisdiction for U.S. event contracts and perpetual derivatives. In its responses submitted to the SEC and CFTC, it says that for products linked to U.S.-listed companies and their securities, the SEC should have primary regulatory authority; exchanges cannot bypass SEC oversight by relying on self-certification mechanisms. At the same time, the SEC should also shorten the review cycle for new products and improve filing efficiency.

The key issue is not just “who regulates,” but how equity-linked event contracts and perpetual derivatives are actually classified. If the regulatory boundaries are clear, it will be harder for stock-style event contracts to expand into regulatory gray areas; for crypto perpetual contracts, it may also prompt U.S. markets to re-examine product classification, listing pathways, and investor protection.

Traditional market makers have publicly called for role clarification, indicating that competition for this kind of product has moved into the institutional framework. How the SEC and CFTC draw the lines going forward is something that warrants ongoing attention.

🔴 Prediction Markets on the Brink of the US Supreme Court: The Legal Battle of the Year

Core Conflict: The State of New York has officially petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court. The key question is whether event and sports outcome contracts on prediction platforms (like Kalshi or Polymarket) constitute illegal gambling under state laws, or if they are federally regulated financial swaps overseen by the CFTC.

Why It Is Critically Important: The case impacts the interests of dozens of similar jurisdictions and threatens a complete overhaul of the regulatory framework.

Two Opposite Outcomes for the Industry:

If state courts prevail (the gambling approach), platforms will be forced to acquire expensive local licenses and pay taxes in each individual region, paralyzing their scalability.

If federal preemption wins out (the financial approach), it will protect crypto and fintech prediction platforms from local bans while delivering a major blow to the traditional sportsbook industry.

Basis for Review: A previously generated legal conflict and conflicting rulings among different appellate circuits have created ideal conditions for the highest court to settle the matter definitively.

🚨 CFTC MOVES TO DISMISS CME’S PERPETUAL FUTURES LAWSUIT ⚖️

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has asked a federal court to dismiss CME Group’s lawsuit challenging the regulatory treatment of crypto perpetual futures.

🔍 What’s happening?
CME has challenged the CFTC’s approval allowing Kalshi to offer Bitcoin perpetual futures, arguing that these products should be treated as swaps rather than futures.

The CFTC is pushing back, arguing that:

• CME may lack legal standing
• CME could potentially offer perpetual futures itself
• The exchange has not demonstrated sufficient competitive harm

📌 Why it matters for crypto

The case could have major implications for the future of Bitcoin perpetual futures in the U.S.

If the $CFTC position prevails, it could strengthen the path for regulated, onshore crypto perpetual products and potentially bring more institutional liquidity into the U.S. derivatives market.

⚠️ Important: This is a motion to dismiss, not a final court ruling. The legal battle is still ongoing.

👀 What do you think?

Will U.S. regulators ultimately open the door wider for crypto perpetual futures, or will stricter rules prevail?
