CFTC Opens the Door to Crypto Perpetual Futures in the U.S.

CFTC Opens the Door to Crypto Perpetual Futures in the U.S.

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Access to crypto derivatives in the United States has been heavily restricted for years. A large part of global trading activity moved overseas, while U.S. investors were forced to turn to offshore platforms for these products. That picture is now changing.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has cleared the way for perpetual futures contracts, widely known as “perps,” to be offered domestically. Under the Commission’s latest move, Kalshi and Coinbase will be able to offer these products to users in the United States.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">What are perpetual futures contracts, and why do they matter?</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Perpetual futures contracts are derivative instruments that allow investors to take positions based on an asset’s price movement without directly buying the asset itself. Their difference from standard futures contracts is simple: they do not have an expiration date. A position can remain open until the investor decides to close it.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This feature has made perps one of the most liquid and widely used products in the crypto derivatives market. However, the vast majority of these trades have taken place on offshore exchanges for years. U.S. users could not access this market.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong put the scale of the issue clearly. Until now, U.S. users had no access to roughly 80 percent of the global crypto market. Perpetual futures and options made up a significant part of that 80 percent. Armstrong said, “That is now changing.”</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">What did the CFTC do?</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Commission’s Division of Clearing and Risk, Division of Market Oversight and Market Participants Division issued a joint staff advisory on Friday. This advisory is not a formal rulemaking, meaning it does not carry permanent legal status. However, it clearly states that CFTC-registered exchanges may list perpetual futures contracts.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">In the advisory, Commission staff emphasized that demand for 24/7 trading has increased due to the impact of blockchain technology and decentralized infrastructure. In this environment, the staff’s aim is to explain the risks linked to continuous trading and how existing regulations address those risks. In a sense, the document offers a roadmap to the market.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">CFTC Chair Brian Quintenz described the decision on X as a historic step. “Today, the CFTC took a historic step enabling a bitcoin perpetual contract to be listed by a CFTC-registered exchange. This decision opens the door for one of the most liquid crypto asset markets to operate within the U.S. regulatory framework,” he said.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Green light for Kalshi and Coinbase</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The CFTC authorized KalshiEX LLC to list BTCPERP, a perpetual contract linked to the price of Bitcoin. For <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/coinbase-exchange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Coinbase </a>Financial Markets Inc., the Commission adopted a “no-action” position regarding the company’s plan to offer digital commodity derivatives products.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Coinbase’s reaction to the development was openly enthusiastic. Armstrong described it as “a big day for U.S. traders and Coinbase.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-05-29-192412-fb4ca5cb.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-05-29 192412.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">What does it mean for the market?</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The perps market has long been the center of gravity for crypto derivatives. In terms of daily trading volume, it has frequently surpassed the spot market. Most of this volume has flowed through offshore exchanges such as Binance, Bybit and OKX. U.S. users either accessed these platforms through VPNs or missed out on this market entirely.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The CFTC’s move creates an opportunity for domestic exchanges operating within a regulated framework to bring this liquidity onto their own platforms. Still, it is important to remember that the decision is advisory in nature and does not represent a formal regulatory change. A new administration or a step at the congressional level could change the picture again. For now, however, the CFTC’s message is clear: the U.S. wants to play a larger role in the crypto derivatives market.</p>

FCA Approved: Aave Is Now in the UK

FCA Approved: Aave Is Now in the UK

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Aave Labs, one of the biggest names in decentralized finance, has cleared an important regulatory threshold in the UK. The company’s UK subsidiaries, Push Labs Ltd. and Push Virtual Assets Ltd., have received registration approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as cryptoasset exchange providers.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The two companies, both operating under the “Push” brand, are now registered under the UK’s anti-money laundering rules. In addition, the company also holds Electronic Money Institution (EMI) authorization under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. Together, these approvals give Aave Labs the ability to build end-to-end fiat-to-crypto infrastructure in the UK.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">For now, the practical goal is clear: allowing users to transfer money directly from their bank accounts to Aave with zero fees, without leaving the app.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Aave Labs founder and CEO Stani Kulechov said the FCA EMI authorization and cryptoasset registrations provide the regulatory foundation needed to offer zero-fee on-chain consumer financial products in the UK.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">A Growing License Map in Europe</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">These approvals mark the continuation of Aave Labs’ regulatory expansion across Europe in recent months. In November 2025, the company’s Irish subsidiary received a Crypto-Asset Service Provider license from the Central Bank of Ireland under MiCA. That license gives the company passporting rights across the entire European Economic Area.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">After Brexit, the UK remained outside the EU framework, which meant a separate license was required. Aave Labs has now completed that step as well. The company is now positioned to operate under regulatory coverage both in continental Europe and in the UK.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Aave also remains the largest on-chain lending market by total value locked.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Funding, Products, Regulation</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The timing of these approvals is also notable. In April, the Aave DAO approved a $25 million grant to the company. Around the same period, development work on Aave V4 and the GHO stablecoin also gained momentum. Taken together, the picture shows Aave Labs following a systematic path beyond its DeFi protocol identity and moving into licensed consumer finance.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">There is also continued activity on the FCA side. In April, the regulator launched a consultation process on stablecoin issuance rules, trading platforms and custody services. Formal licensing applications are expected to open in September 2026, while the broader framework is expected to come into force in October 2027.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Aave Labs has secured its approvals before this timetable is fully finalized. While much of the sector is still waiting in line, the company has already taken its place in the UK.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">At the time of writing, <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/aave" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">AAVE </a>was trading at around $82.81.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/aaveusdt-2026-05-29-19-12-49-259b4df2.webp" alt="AAVEUSDT_2026-05-29_19-12-49.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p>

SEC Registers Stablecoin Company Paxos: The First and Only

SEC Registers Stablecoin Company Paxos: The First and Only

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Paxos subsidiary Paxos Securities Settlement Company (PSSC) has received official registration from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a clearing agency. The company became the first and only blockchain infrastructure firm to receive this approval after a seven-year regulatory process.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The registration was granted under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With this status, PSSC is authorized to operate as a central securities depository in the United States. The approval is a temporary registration, subject to the company meeting ongoing regulatory requirements.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Paxos CEO and co-founder Charles Cascarilla summarized how the company reached this point in his statement: “This registration is the product of a seven-year journey. We began with our No-Action letter in 2019, then launched our pilot program with some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated financial institutions. Most importantly, it gives our partners access to the most comprehensive infrastructure that can continue to evolve alongside the market and blockchain technology.”</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Pilot program ongoing since 2020</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Since February 2020, PSSC has been offering clearing and settlement services for U.S. equities under the SEC’s no-action relief. The pilot program was conducted with the participation of “leading global financial institutions.” In 2022, a blockchain-based trial launched in partnership with State Street enabled same-day settlement, or the “T+0” model, for equity trades.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Based on the findings from this process, the company argues that blockchain infrastructure offers concrete advantages in both cost and speed compared to traditional post-trade processes.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Where traditional finance meets blockchain</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This step comes at a time when traditional capital markets and blockchain technology are becoming increasingly intertwined. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) also recently announced its own tokenization service with the support of major Wall Street firms. Paxos’ SEC registration stands out because it places this convergence within a concrete regulatory framework.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Paxos already has partnerships with major names including PayPal, Interactive Brokers, Mastercard and Mercado Libre. The company also issues PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin and the Pax Gold (PAXG) token. Last October, due to a technical error, the company accidentally minted 300 trillion PYUSD and then burned the amount. Following that incident, Paxos received conditional approval to become an OCC national trust bank; this status would allow the company to operate under a single federal framework instead of a state-by-state regulatory patchwork.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Paxos’ registration is a sign that <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/chains" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">blockchain </a>infrastructure can no longer be ignored in institutional finance. Seven years of negotiations with the SEC and pilot programs may serve as a reference point not only for Paxos, but also for other companies trying to move forward in this field. Moving infrastructure layers such as clearing and settlement onto blockchain has mostly remained a theoretical debate until now. PSSC’s official registration brings that discussion onto a real regulatory footing.</p>

Binance Alpha Removes 12 Tokens From Its List

Binance Alpha Removes 12 Tokens From Its List

<p class="text-left mb-4 "><a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/binance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Binance </a>has removed 12 tokens from the featured list on its Alpha platform as part of its regular standard reviews. According to the official announcement published on May 29, 2026, the tokens in question no longer meet the platform’s criteria. The removal took effect today at 09:00 Turkish time.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Binance Alpha is a platform within the Binance ecosystem designed to give visibility to early-stage crypto projects. Its listing standards are reviewed regularly, and these reviews sometimes result in bulk removals. This time, 12 tokens were removed from the list at once.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The tokens removed from the list are as follows: DIGI (MineD), K (Sidekick), SKI (Ski Mask Dog), JOJO (JojoWorld), PLAYSOLANA (Play Solana), 恶俗企鹅 (the three-dimensional William Tell penguin project), PAL (Palio), TYCOON (Dino Tycoon), HIPPO (Sudeng), LN (Lnfi Network), BNBXBT and BOOM (Boom).</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-05-29-113734-60b1812d.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-05-29 113734.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Selling and withdrawal transactions will continue</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Although the tokens have been removed from the featured list, users will still be able to sell and withdraw their existing holdings. There are two ways to do this. First, users can go to the [Assets] tab in the Binance Alpha app, then select the [Alpha] section and choose the relevant token through the Withdraw option. Second, they can select the relevant token from the same tab and follow the Instant > Sell steps. Binance Wallet users can also continue trading by searching for the tokens through the [Market] tab.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Alpha tokens are always a risky category</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">It is worth remembering that, due to the structure of Binance Alpha, these types of tokens carry a high risk of price volatility. The platform advises users to do their own research (DYOR) before trading these tokens and to apply sufficient risk management. After all, Alpha’s purpose is to give visibility to early-stage projects that have not yet fully matured. Therefore, tokens being periodically added to or removed from this category is not unusual; it is part of the platform’s routine operation.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">In this context, the removal of these 12 tokens from the list does not mean that their value has gone to zero or that the projects have ended. Binance has made an assessment that these tokens no longer meet its standards; however, users can still dispose of their assets as they wish. That said, investors who hold any of these tokens would benefit from closely following the latest developments.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Why were so many tokens removed at once?</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Binance removing such a large group from the list at the same time is noteworthy. In its announcement, the exchange stated that the tokens “did not meet its standards,” but it did not share detailed information on which criteria led to this conclusion. These types of bulk removals usually come up due to factors such as suspicious trading volume, halted project activity, or security concerns.</p>

Sui Mainnet Halted: Network Unable to Process Transactions for Hours

Sui Mainnet Halted: Network Unable to Process Transactions for Hours

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Sui, positioned as a rival to Ethereum and Solana, has stood out as one of the layer-1 blockchains known for high transaction speed and low fees since its 2023 launch. Developed by Mysten Labs, a company founded by former members of Meta’s canceled Diem project, the network has become an attractive infrastructure option especially for DeFi and blockchain-based gaming applications. However, on Thursday, Sui’s mainnet went down and transactions came to a halt.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Sui Network Comes to a Halt</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The mainnet of Sui, the layer-1 blockchain developed by Mysten Labs, went down on Thursday. The network was unable to produce new blocks for nearly two hours, and all transactions were suspended during that period. The <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/sui" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Sui </a>team issued an official statement on X regarding the outage: “Sui Mainnet is currently experiencing a network pause. The Sui Core team is actively working on a resolution. Please note that transactions may be paused at this time.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-05-28-214419-a170eb79.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-05-28 214419.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Data from block explorer SuiScan confirmed that the network had failed to produce new blocks for an extended period. Updates on the status page stated that the issue was identified at 19:36 and that the fix had reached the implementation stage.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">This Is Not the First Time</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">For Sui, this is not an unfamiliar picture. In fact, it marks the network’s third notable outage. The previous two incidents occurred in November 2024 and January 2026. During the January outage, developers also spent hours bringing the network back online.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Launched in 2023, Sui is one of the new-generation layer-1 networks positioned as a competitor to Ethereum and Solana. High transaction speed and low fees are among its core selling points. The network was developed by a team that split off from Meta’s canceled Diem stablecoin project.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">After news of the outage spread, the network’s native token SUI fell by 8% over the past 24 hours. However, it is difficult to say whether this decline was directly caused by the outage or whether it coincided with broader market conditions, as crypto markets were also showing a mixed performance during the same period. At the moment, there is no information suggesting that user funds have been affected.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Blockchain outages become an especially critical issue when the networks involved provide infrastructure for DeFi and gaming applications. If a protocol defines itself as high-performance infrastructure, a network halt lasting for hours clearly conflicts with that image. Developers and investors have a strong reason to monitor such incidents closely, as ecosystem reliability is a decisive factor for institutional integrations and large-scale applications.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Sui team said it will continue to share further updates as the investigation progresses.</p>
