CFTC Cracks Open U.S. Market for Bitcoin and Crypto Perpetual Futures
The CFTC has approved the first U.S.-listed bitcoin perpetual futures contract, allowing American traders access to a significant crypto derivatives market. This move enables Coinbase to facilitate U.S. clients' participation in global crypto derivatives markets. CFTC Chair Michael Selig described the decision as a historic step for U.S. market structure.
