CFTC Issues No-Action Relief for Digital Commodity Perpetual Futures

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Division of Market Oversight has issued no-action relief to designated contract markets (DCMs). This relief allows DCMs to convert their current perpetual-style digital commodity futures contracts into true digital commodity perpetual futures.

This action, detailed in CFTC Staff Letter No. 26-19, aims to facilitate the evolution of digital asset derivatives within regulated markets. The relief provides clarity for markets seeking to adapt their offerings in the rapidly developing digital commodity space.
