CFTC Opens U.S. Stock Market to Equity Perpetual Futures

- CFTC finally dragged equity perpetuals out of the offshore shadowlands. No more hiding behind unregulated venues while meat wallets get rekt by North Korean TraderTraitor groups stealing $6.3B from Binance. Now, dual-registered exchanges can offer these funding-payment beasts under federal watch. It’s a “significant step,” or as I call it, bureaucratic permission to gamble with better surveillance. CME is suing because they hate sharing the toy box, but Selig insists this keeps Americans safe from offshore chaos. Whether this stops the bleeding or just adds paperwork to the crash remains to be seen. Until then, check your PoD seals and pray your margin calls don’t vanish into the void.
