CFTC Commissioner Hints At Crypto Perpetual Futures
CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger has confirmed plans by US authorities to approve crypto perpetual futures. The outgoing Commissioner disclosed plans in a Bloomberg interview, noting that the US markets are ripe for crypto perpetual futures to make their debut.
Mersinger, in response to a question over the status of their offerings, noted that the US is inching toward approval. However, Mersinger did not give a timeline for the approvals but hinted that crypto perpetual futures will be part of the wave of crypto regulations.
“It would be great to get that trading back onshore in the United States,” said Mersinger. “I think it’s unfortunate that it has been driven offshore for so long.”
