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

So this is the beginning and not the end for sure.

Well, one important point is just in the week since we saw the green lighting of the Bitcoin perpetual contract, we've now seen a number of products self-certified as perpetual contracts in the digital commodity world.

So we break down at the SEC and CFTC

crypto assets using clear rules, unlike the last administration, uh, the, the crypto assets in the category.

So we have digital commodities and these are assets that derive their value from a network or a protocol or an application, things like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, uh, Uniswaps token, these types of tokens that derive value from a, from a network or product or application, uh,

all of those products with certain requirements around the product being listed, the products have to have a ready market, have to be not readily susceptible to manipulation, and so on and so forth.

But provided that the contract meets our requirements, those can be self-certified.

That means that the exchange can list those products without having to ask for permission first.

They can essentially submit them and we...

We can reject the contract if we believe there's an issue with our regulations, but they can be listed fairly easily.

So we've seen a number of those be listed in the past week.

We expect to see more in the future.

But then moving into other categories, digital collectibles, for example, meme coins, those sorts of assets, we would expect a process with the staff.

We want those to go through a full approval with the CFTC agency.

and then moving into things beyond crypto, equities, which we can certainly get into, metals, other types of products.

We would not be expecting those to be listed right away.

There would be a process with the staff, but we're interested to engage with the exchanges on listing new products.

Did I hear that correctly?

Well, it's not the Clarity Act itself.

So a couple months ago, or maybe even three or four months ago now, Chairman Atkins and I came together, worked together on an interpretation that divided up crypto assets into categories.
