Fusion42 · 4 November 2026 · Fusion42 review

The CFTC has authorised the trading of perpetual futures contracts linked to individual US stocks on its registered exchanges, but this move has been immediately challenged in court by a group supported by Cboe and Citadel Securities, raising regulatory uncertainties.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must factor in legal risks in equity perpetual futures development as Cboe and Citadel push back hard against new CFTC rules. The market access you just gained could be delayed or narrowed by ongoing court rulings.
