美CFTC已批准一家受监管交易所上线并交易比特币永续期货合约

Odaily reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced it has approved a registered trading platform to list bitcoin perpetual futures contracts. This marks the first time a U.S. regulator has explicitly allowed compliant institutions to engage in crypto perpetual contract trading, opening an institutional channel for this type of derivative in the U.S. market.

The CFTC stated that this approval aims to provide a viable regulatory framework for the market while "limiting excessive leverage and systemic risk," and to encourage such trading to return to U.S. soil. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig called perpetual contracts a "fundamental risk management and price discovery tool" in the global crypto market and said the policy helps solidify the U.S. position as a "global crypto hub."

Analysts noted that this decision signifies a further step by U.S. regulators toward "institutional adoption" in the crypto derivatives space. However, the current policy still exists in the form of guidance and approvals, lacking formal rulemaking, and could be subject to future regulatory changes. (CoinDesk)
