Crypto firms back CFTC in two fights over whether perpetual futures are swaps
CoinDesk reports crypto companies have twice sided with the U.S. derivatives regulator in disputes over how perpetual futures are classified.
要点
- Crypto firms have twice backed the CFTC in disputes over whether perpetual futures are swaps.
- CoinDesk reported the alignment in a piece published on 10 November 2026.
- The disputes concern stock perpetuals, futures on equities that carry no expiry date.
- The report does not name the firms, the courts, the products or the outcomes.
What was reported
Crypto companies have twice found themselves on the same side as the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in legal disputes over whether perpetual futures count as swaps, CoinDesk reported on 10 November 2026.
The report frames the disputes as a fight over stock perpetuals. It says the alignment between crypto firms and the CFTC has now happened twice, without naming the cases in the material available.
The two terms at the centre of the argument
Perpetual futures are derivative contracts that track an underlying asset but have no expiry date, unlike standard futures. A swap is a derivative in which two parties exchange cash flows or obligations.
Under U.S. derivatives law, futures and swaps are subject to different rules, so how a product is labelled can shape which requirements apply to it and which authority supervises it. The CFTC's position in the disputes, according to the report, is that perpetual futures are not swaps.
What the report leaves open
The summary does not identify the firms involved, the courts hearing the cases, the specific products at issue or how any of the disputes have been decided. It also does not say when the two matters began or whether they are related.
The material available carries no comment from the CFTC or from the companies said to be supporting its position. Whether the two disputes are still running, and what they could mean for other perpetual futures products, remains unanswered.

常见问题
What are stock perpetuals?
They are perpetual futures contracts that track stock prices. Like other perpetual futures, they have no expiry date, unlike standard futures. CoinDesk's report refers to the disputes as a fight over stock perpetuals but does not name the products involved.
Why does it matter whether perpetual futures are swaps?
Futures and swaps are treated differently under U.S. derivatives rules, so the classification can affect which requirements apply. According to CoinDesk, crypto firms have twice backed the CFTC's position that perpetual futures are not swaps.
