The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are reportedly considering integrating perpetual contracts (Perpetual Contracts) into the regulatory framework to allow investors in the United States to access them.

According to Aggr News, an overseas economic breaking news channel, on the 5th, the two agencies are considering measures to allow perpetual contract products that meet investor protection and consumer safety standards to be traded on regulated platforms in the United States.

Perpetual contracts are a form of derivative without maturity, mainly used on virtual asset (cryptocurrency) exchanges, but their offering in the United States has been limited due to jurisdictional issues and definitional constraints.

The outlet said, "Regulatory improvements could bring transactions that had been moving abroad back into the United States and provide investors with products that apply transparent leverage and stable risk management."
