The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has made a significant move by approving the first regulated Bitcoin perpetual futures contracts, allowing platforms like Coinbase and Kalshi to offer these products to U.S. investors. This decision marks a historic moment for the cryptocurrency market, as it opens the door for onshore crypto-linked perpetual futures trading, enhancing the regulatory framework for digital assets. As a result, stocks of Coinbase and associated companies surged in response to the news. The approval signifies a shift away from offshore trading, bringing greater legitimacy and safety to retail investors in the rapidly evolving crypto derivatives market.
