On 3 November 2026 the CFTC chair issued a statement on equity perpetual futures, allowing trading on CFTC-registered exchanges that are also SEC notice-registered for security futures. The contracts fall under joint CFTC–SEC oversight. Platforms such as Kalshi were reported to list single-stock contracts shortly afterwards. The statement is about the U.S. regulatory status and is not investment advice.
What it means: Crypto-style perps are moving onto equity underliers under dual U.S. oversight. Greek firms and investors do not automatically gain EU access; offering and suitability rules still apply. Multi-jurisdiction fintechs and brokers face a new product that must be separated from European derivatives and from crypto perps. Compliance teams should check whether marketing or execution is allowed for EEA clients. No buy or sell recommendation is made. For Greek businesses and public bodies this means a practical review of contracts, timelines and compliance duties, and it is not investment or legal advice. IT, finance and compliance teams should document owners, review cycles and fallback processes before wider adoption or a vendor change.
