Abstract generation in progress
Jiexian.com news: The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has approved the first regulated Bitcoin perpetual contract, allowing KalshiEx to list BTCPERP as a futures contract tied to Bitcoin spot prices. This decision provides a clearer path for U.S. crypto derivatives companies to enter perpetual products. The CFTC also issued separate guidance affecting Coinbase’s financial markets and certain offshore crypto products. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said that this approval enables Kalshi to move beyond prediction markets, and that regulated perpetual contracts are very useful for capital allocation and risk management. The CFTC also said that certain crypto perpetual contracts may qualify for external futures under its rules. Coinbase’s financial markets can now, under specific conditions, connect U.S. customers to certain offshore products.

Wait, what does external futures qualification mean? Seeking an expert's explanation.

It feels like the pressure from DeFi perps is coming—traditional compliance agencies are stepping in to compete.

The 'specific conditions' in the guiding document are the key point; the detailed rules haven't been released yet, right?

After spot ETFs, the next wave is perpetual contracts, and traditional finance’s Bitcoin toolbox is becoming more complete.
