TechFlow News: On May 29, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved, for the first time in its history, a regulated exchange to list and trade Bitcoin perpetual futures contracts (“Perps”) on May 29 local time—marking the first such approval in U.S. regulatory history. CFTC Chair Mike Selig characterized this move as a “major milestone,” noting that perpetual contracts serve as foundational tools for risk management and price discovery in global crypto-asset markets. He stated the CFTC will establish an actionable regulatory framework for such contracts while limiting excessive leverage and systemic risk. Previously, perpetual contract trading had largely migrated outside U.S. jurisdiction due to regulatory uncertainty. The CFTC has not yet disclosed the names of the first exchanges approved under this policy, and the policy remains informal—not yet codified into formal rules—and thus remains subject to potential reversal in the future.
