Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The CFTC has approved perpetual futures on stocks, extending a trading structure long central to crypto markets into regulated U.S. equities. Chair Michael Selig framed the decision as giving American traders a supervised alternative to offshore venues that have operated with lighter oversight. The approval brings the funding-rate and no-expiry mechanics of crypto perps into traditional stock trading, a shift that could reshape how U.S. investors hedge and speculate on equities. It also marks a further convergence between crypto market infrastructure and mainstream finance under the agency's current leadership. What to watch next is how quickly exchanges list stock-based perpetual contracts and whether liquidity and volume migrate from offshore platforms into the regulated U.S. market.
