CFTC Opens Door to Crypto-Style Stock Futures

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has cleared the way for a new type of trading product: equity perpetual futures on registered exchanges. Chairman Michael Selig confirmed these contracts, which have no expiration date and are a staple of crypto markets, can now be applied to traditional stocks. This bridges a gap between the digital asset world and conventional finance, letting traders use a crypto-native mechanism on equities. It could broaden how investors approach stock exposure, though the practical impact will depend on how exchanges and traders adopt the structure.

Would you trade perpetual futures on stocks if they became available on major platforms?
