CFTC to Hold Roundtable on 24/7 Trading Mechanism for Derivatives Market on December 15

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold an industry roundtable on December 15 to discuss the feasibility of implementing 24/7 trading in the derivatives market. This meeting will continue the CFTC's public consultation efforts from this summer regarding extending standard futures contract trading hours and introducing perpetual contract mechanisms. Discussions will focus on topics such as overnight trading, asset tokenization, infrastructure development, staffing, and operational readiness, exploring how to promote financial innovation while protecting the rights of market participants and maintaining the integrity and resilience of the U.S. derivatives market. CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam stated that the regulatory agency will not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to 24/7 trading, but rather aims to develop trading mechanisms for different asset classes in a prudent and responsible manner by listening to feedback from various industry stakeholders. The meeting will take place at the CFTC's headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will be open to the public via live stream. Specific agenda, speakers, and registration information will be announced later.
