CFTC Chair Selig: Equity perpetual futures (Equity Perps) may begin trading on U.S.-registered exchanges

Must be listed on a CFTC-designated contract market (DCM), with the exchange also filing a notice of registration with the SEC for security futures products

Classified as security futures under the CFMA, subject to joint CFTC and SEC oversight

Statement cites the precedent of previously approved Bitcoin perpetual futures (KalshiEX BTCPERP)

Opening the door ≠ specific contracts are fully listed for retail trading
Dual-registered venues ≠ all DCMs have launched equity perpetuals
