CFTC paves way for regulated US stock perpetuals, HYPE token gains over 2%

On November 3, 2026, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a decision that could fundamentally reshape access to perpetual futures tied to individual stocks in the United States. The move enables regulated US exchanges to offer stock perpetuals under a framework coordinated with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The decision classifies equity perpetual contracts as security futures, placing them under joint CFTC and SEC oversight. This regulatory route uses the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (CFMA) rather than introducing new legislation. Under this structure, exchanges registered with both the CFTC and SEC can now offer such derivatives in US markets, subject to existing regulatory safeguards. This framework is designed to draw market activity into the US regulatory perimeter and away from less supervised offshore platforms.
