Today @Coinbase, @Kalshi, @Payward, DRW Holdings, @Jumptrading, and @Paradigm moved for leave to file an amicus brief defending the @CFTC’s authority to regulate single stock perpetuals in the US.

The law is clear. Under the CEA and the securities futures framework Congress established in 2000, security futures products are not “swaps.”

Others would rather litigate than compete with innovative products that promise to open up new markets and financial opportunities for American investors with the oversight and investor protection of the @CFTC and @SECGov built in.

Killing innovation won’t stop these products. It will just keep them offshore and unregulated. We’ve been working for years to onshore equity perps in a responsible and regulated way and won’t stop until we bring these products to our customers.

grateful to the leadership of @ChairmanSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins for providing the path out of regulatory "no man's land" and bringing these products to the U.S.

Today, equity perps can begin trading for the first time on @CFTC registered exchanges.

This move reflects my commitment to ensuring that America’s markets remain the most innovative, liquid, and well-regulated in the world. Instead of being forced to turn to offshore, unregulated venues to access equity perpetual futures, Americans may now access equity perps on CFTC-regulated markets subject to robust safeguards.

I appreciate the continued partnership of @SECGov and @SECPaulSAtkins as we work to further harmonize our agencies' regulatory initiatives.

Another one.

New Jersey has formally dropped its staking lawsuit against Coinbase and lifted its cease-and-desist order, paving the way for our NJ users to resume staking after missing millions of dollars in rewards over the past 3+ years.

Defending our users’ access to secure, reliable staking has been non-negotiable from the start.

We’re persistent in our determination to fight for our users, but our work on staking isn’t done until everyone everywhere has the same opportunity.

Wisconsin, Maryland, California, and Washington are next.
