CFTC to allow equity perps in U.S.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced that it will allow equity perpetual contracts to be traded in the U.S., making these instruments accessible to both retail and institutional users via regulated onshore platforms.

Henri Arslanian, who identified himself as a former PwC crypto leader and Nine Blocks Capital managing partner, shared this development in his latest weekly newsletter.

Arslanian previously commented on a reported hack at Binance resulting in $3-4 billion in assets being moved, with Tether and Circle acting to freeze funds, as detailed in his earlier coverage. He has also highlighted findings from an OCC report addressing the debanking of crypto industry entities by major U.S. banks. These updates reflect recent areas of focus in Arslanian's reporting.
