According to market information, the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is ready to give its permission to launch this instrument if all the necessary conditions for this are met. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is ready to approve the launch of Ethereum futures. This decision will consolidate the jurisdiction of the commission over the Ethereum markets. In addition, launching futures without deliveries will allow institutional players to safely interact with the second largest capitalization cryptocurrency in a strictly regulated environment. Commission approval can, in the long run, have a positive impact on the adoption of cryptocurrency ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and strengthen retail investor confidence in the future. Since last year, the ministry has been studying information about Ethereum technology and its applications to develop regulatory standards and is now ready to announce the start of their operation.
