CME Group demanda a la CFTC por la aprobación de los futuros perpetuos de Kalshi

CME Group ha presentado una demanda contra la Comisión de Negociación de Futuros de Productos Básicos (CFTC) para cuestionar la aprobación de los contratos de futuros perpetuos de Kalshi por parte del organismo.

La demanda, presentada el jueves, alega que la CFTC no analizó adecuadamente si los futuros perpetuos de Bitcoin de Kalshi califican como futuros o swaps bajo la Ley Dodd-Frank. Solicita a un tribunal que anule la aprobación otorgada a finales de mayo.

CME sostiene que los productos son swaps y no futuros, lo que desencadenaría diferentes requisitos regulatorios. La demanda afirma que la CFTC "no realizó su propio análisis" y "aprobó automáticamente la solicitud de Kalshi".

El mismo día de la aprobación, la CFTC emitió una carta de no acción a Coinbase respecto a productos similares. El CEO saliente de CME, Terry Duffy, había anunciado planes de demandar el día anterior.

La exconsejera general de StarkWare, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, señaló que no existe un precedente claro sobre si la falta de vencimiento determina la clasificación de los futuros.
