The US CFTC approved Bitcoin perpetual contracts with up to six times leverage on regulated domestic exchanges, enabling live trading products. Meanwhile, the SEC's proposal to create a regulated path for crypto founders to raise funds through token offerings remains pending further approvals.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

US crypto derivatives now have a clear regulatory path for high-leverage perpetual Bitcoin trading, while fundraising for new tokens remains legally blocked. You in crypto startups face urgent pressure to adapt your financing plans as derivatives trading outpaces token issuance regulation.
