CFTC Greenlights Perpetual Futures on U.S. Stocks
Kalshi, Coinbase, and Bitnomial already have filings in, though the onshore version comes with set trading hours and far less leverage than offshore perps. CFTC Chair Mike Selig announced this morning that perpetual futures on individual U.S. equities can begin trading on CFTC-registered exchanges for the first time. The products are classified as security futures, which puts them under both CFTC and SEC oversight.
