Bankless · Perps Are Coming Onshore | CFTC Chairman Mike Selig · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

But the two areas where we expect engagement in the near term are additional crypto products and

and some of these equity products.

And that equity engagement will be between the SEC and the CFTC.

That's right.

Look, some of these incumbents may not like perps and want to offer perps too.

And that's totally fine.

I think there could be competition between a 24-7 model that someone wants to offer and feels comfortable with versus a perpetual 24-7 model.

So I think there will be all sorts of options available to the market and the marketplace will decide.

I think it's a free option.

and people can go purchase the assets they want to purchase.

futures market and also in particular with commodities the futures market is much more liquid and you've got the ability to go trade on an exchange whereas with live cattle you're going to an auction so it's a little bit different market to market but it's certainly something that we're looking at and thinking about the

Core concern for us is that these markets are not readily susceptible to manipulation.

So if we're looking at, for example, Bitcoin relative to some meme coin of choice, Pepe or something like that, we're going to think about how much supply there is, how much spot trading, how much susceptibility there is to manipulation in the spot relative to the futures.
