- CFTC clears perpetual futures on stocks, bringing crypto trading model to Wall Street
- CFTC clears stock perpetual futures for trading on US exchanges
The CFTC has approved stock-based perpetual futures under Regulation 40.3 for trading on exchanges registered with both the CFTC and SEC, though it did not name exchanges or a start date. Chairman Michael Selig said the move would let American traders use regulated venues rather than offshore, often unregulated ones. It follows September filings by Coinbase, Kalshi, Payward's Bitnomial and OG.com. The approach faces legal opposition: CME Group's Chicago Mercantile Exchange sued in June, arguing the contracts should be regulated as swaps and that the agency exceeded its authority. The CFTC moved in September to dismiss, arguing CME lacked standing because it had not shown financial harm.
- CFTC Greenlights Perpetual Futures on U.S. Stocks
CFTC Chair Mike Selig announced that perpetual futures on individual U.S. stocks can now trade on CFTC-registered exchanges for the first time, classified as security futures under both CFTC and SEC oversight. The contracts were “deemed approved” under Commission Regulation 40.3 after the review window closed without objection, and only venues that are both CFTC-designated and SEC notice-registered can list them. Kalshi, Coinbase Derivatives and Bitnomial filed rules on Sept. 18; Kalshi's filing covers up to 58 contracts including Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, while Bitnomial's starter list has ten names, and no venue has announced a launch date. The filed contracts trade from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon ET with margin floors around 15%, or roughly 6.5x leverage, far below offshore platforms. SIFMA asked regulators to pause and take public comment, Better Markets called the products a gambling tool, and CME is still suing the CFTC, arguing perpetuals are swaps rather than futures.
- U.S. CFTC sets agenda for AI forum, exploring trading and agentic finance
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission released the agenda for its first “Frontier Forum” event, hosted by its Innovation Task Force on October 28, to discuss how AI may change U.S. derivatives markets. The session will look at how AI could affect price discovery and risk management, and will hear from leaders of firms including Ornn, Architect and Liquid Compute. Participants will also explore how traders’ own AI agents may operate under CFTC regulations. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig said super intelligence is poised to transform financial markets.
- Hyperliquid founder wants U.S. oversight of trading platforms, not his blockchain
Founder Jeff Yan told Bloomberg that U.S. regulators should oversee the firms operating trading markets on the blockchain rather than the network itself. He argued those deployers, not the underlying infrastructure, should meet regulatory requirements, which would let Wall Street firms run regulated trading businesses on Hyperliquid without the blockchain registering as an exchange. Hyperliquid remains closed to U.S. customers, but Payward, Kraken's parent, plans to offer U.S. investors derivatives using Hyperliquid's technology through a regulated exchange. His comments follow President Donald Trump's August statement that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) was working to bring Hyperliquid under federal regulation.
- Bill Ackman warns of 'casino' stock market as speculative trading grows
Bill Ackman, founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, says the stock market feels broken as speculative trading and leverage drive wild price swings. He said markets have returned to 'casino type' conditions when leverage reached 95%, warning that one-day leveraged products, perpetual futures and sports betting are dangerous for investors treating stocks as a get-rich-quick scheme. Still, such dislocations allowed Pershing Square to buy Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet at attractive levels. Ackman is especially positive on Visa, Mastercard and Netflix, in which he disclosed a position in August.

- Nvidia vs. SK Hynix: Comparing Quarterly Revenue Trajectories
The article compares quarterly revenue trends for Nvidia (NVDA) and SK Hynix (SKHY) over the last 8 quarters. Nvidia's sales have grown rapidly, driven by GPUs for AI data centers, and it forecast sales of about $108 billion in its fiscal third quarter; it also agreed to supply additional GPUs to AWS. SK Hynix's revenue surged this year on soaring demand and high average selling prices for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI processors, though the company is ramping HBM output, which could eventually push prices down. SK Hynix also began shipping its latest HBM products, showcased tenth-generation flash memory, and faces a suspended IPO for its U.S. unit Solidigm and an ongoing antitrust class action. Its shares have fallen from a 52-week high of $199.87, and Wall Street has been cautious about the stock.
