Hyperliquid Policy Center Urges CFTC to Prioritize Perpetual Futures Regulation
The Hyperliquid Policy Center has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) urging it to treat perpetual futures as a regulatory priority.
The center argues that perpetual futures, which allow traders to speculate on an underlying asset's price without an expiration date, have matured beyond digital assets and now cover equities and commodities.
The letter highlights the efficiency of perpetual futures in reducing transaction costs and operational complexity for hedgers managing long-term risk.
The CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee is scheduled to meet on August 20 to discuss emerging technologies and market structures, including digital assets and decentralized finance (DeFi).
