El presidente de la CFTC personalmente defiende los contratos perpetuos, decir que no tienen una fecha de vencimiento fija ≠ ilegal, y no culpen a los reguladores por el apalancamiento de 250 veces, el diseño de la tasa de financiamiento siempre ha sido para anclar el precio al contado, esta vez es como una inyección de confianza para la industria.

Wu Shuo learned that the U.S. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig issued a statement clarifying several controversies regarding perpetual futures contracts. Selig stated that the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules do not require futures contracts to have fixed expiration dates, so perpetual contracts do not violate the current regulatory framework; the previously approved BTCPERP contract also does not mean that U.S. investors are allowed to use leverage of up to 250 times, as high leverage mainly exists in some offshore markets rather than regulated exchanges. Selig also pointed out that the CFTC has publicly solicited opinions on products such as perpetual contracts in April 2025, and the funding rate mechanism will not lead to excessively high costs; its role is to ensure that the price of perpetual contracts remains linked to the spot market.
