A post by @CFTC on X.

CFTC Chairman Selig released a statement on equity perpetual futures, signaling regulatory attention to a product category that has no established U.S. framework. The statement did not include specific rulemaking, enforcement action, or numeric thresholds such as margin requirements, position limits, or contract sizes. The tweet linked to the full statement but provided no further details on scope, covered venues, or timelines. The move matters because equity perps sit at the intersection of derivatives and digital-asset trading, where U.S. persons face jurisdictional uncertainty. Watch for the full statement’s language on whether equity perps are treated as swaps or security futures, and for any follow-up from the SEC given overlapping jurisdiction.
