The registration took effect on September 14, and the SEC confirmed the filing on September 16. CEO Kris Marszalek said the authorization allows the firm to introduce single-stock futures to the US market, while it is also collaborating with the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch single-stock perpetual contracts—futures contracts with no fixed expiration date—in the US. US trading platforms are racing to roll out stock perpetual futures. Earlier this month, Coinbase also submitted a similar registration notice seeking to list stock perpetual contracts in the US; its Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad noted that CFTC approval is still required.
