#blockchain .com Files for #CFTC Licenses, Aiming for #US #crypto Derivatives and #prediction Markets ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ”ฅ

Digital asset pioneer Blockchain.com has officially applied for DCM and FCM licenses with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch regulated crypto derivatives and event contracts for U.S. users. [1, 2]

If approved, the dual registrations will allow the firm to transition from distributing external productsโ€”currently partnering with Polymarket and Hyperliquid abroadโ€”to operating its own in-house regulated futures exchange and brokerage directly onboarding U.S. retail and institutional clients. The aggressive expansion coincides with the firm's confidential SEC filing for a $4B to $6B IPO planned for later this year. [1, 2, 3, 4]
