Detailed Factual Report
A perpetual future is a leveraged bet on a price that never expires. You hold it as long as you can meet margin and keep paying a funding rate. It’s analog product would be options in TradFi, with a few differences (primarily no expiration date). Crypto traders have used them for years, mostly on offshore venues like Binance and onchain platforms like Hyperliquid, because U.S. law had no clear home for the product.
The approval came as a statement from CFTC Chairman Michael Selig. Equity perpetual futures are now tradable on CFTC-registered exchanges , classified as security futures products under the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which puts them under joint CFTC and SEC oversight.
The list of venues that can actually do this is short, and it was assembled quietly. A firm needs to be a CFTC-designated contract market and separately notice-registered with the SEC as a national securities exchange for security futures products. Seven entities hold both today: Cboe, CME, Coinbase, Kalshi, Bitnomial, Nadex, and ICE Futures U.S. Five of those seven filed inside a single 30-day window in September.
Kalshi is furthest along, with a filing covering 56 to 58 names and a launch expected within days. Coinbase has filed to list perps on Apple, Tesla and Nvidia. So those two are immediate winners. But Hyperliquid and Lighter, the top crypto perps protocols, are next in line for potential CFTC approvals and are likely future winners as well (LIT +10% on the day).
