Atkins and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham issued a joint statement on September 5, 2025, announcing that the two agencies will strengthen regulatory coordination to jointly advance cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation.
The statement explicitly stated that they are considering introducing perpetual contracts (derivatives without fixed expiration dates) into the U.S. market, allowing American traders to trade such products—currently only available in overseas crypto markets—on domestic platforms. The two agencies will also explore areas including 24/7 continuous trading markets, prediction markets, portfolio margin optimization, and regulatory exemptions for decentralized finance (DeFi) innovations.
