CFTC Is this about turning the energy market into crypto as well? 24/7 futures + perpetual contracts, traditional finance is becoming DeFi.

Wu said that the CFTC has issued a request for public comments on two developments in the energy derivatives market, including extending the trading hours of standard futures contracts to 24/7 and launching perpetual contracts based on physical delivery or storable energy commodities such as crude oil. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated that as registered entities extend trading hours and introduce new contract designs, the feedback will help assess their impact on the market. The request for comments covers issues related to maintaining fixed expiration dates for around-the-clock futures trading and perpetual contracts for energy commodities, with a public comment period of 30 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register.
