AI-assisted source summary · not independently verified. Content standards
CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig issued a statement saying that single-stock perpetual futures can begin trading on designated contract markets that meet dual-registration requirements. These markets must also be registered with the SEC as national securities exchanges eligible to trade security futures products. Selig said the move is intended to allow U.S. market participants to access these products under the CFTC regulatory framework and advance regulatory coordination between the CFTC and SEC.
The statement ties the scope of trading in single-stock perpetual futures to the dual-registration requirements for designated contract markets, and explains that regulators aim to provide a path to market access through a regulatory framework and interagency coordination.
