Tradingkey - On May 29, the U.S. cryptocurrency industry achieved a milestone regulatory breakthrough. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN) and prediction market platform Kalshi jointly announced on Friday the official launch of cryptocurrency perpetual contract products. This marks the first time in U.S. history that investors are permitted to trade perpetual futures contracts through domestic, licensed, and regulated exchanges. The product launch received official listing approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), signifying that crypto perpetual futures, which had long resided in a regulatory gray area, are now formally integrated into the U.S. domestic financial regulatory system, establishing a clear framework for onshore trading rules.
