CME Group processa a CFTC pela aprovação de futuros perpétuos da Kalshi

O CME Group abriu um processo contra a Commodity Futures Trading Commission contestando a aprovação da agência aos contratos de futuros perpétuos da Kalshi.

A ação, protocolada na quinta-feira, alega que a CFTC falhou em analisar adequadamente se os futuros perpétuos de Bitcoin da Kalshi se qualificam como futuros ou swaps sob a Lei Dodd-Frank. O processo solicita a um tribunal que anule a aprovação concedida no final de maio.

O CME argumenta que os produtos são swaps em vez de futuros, o que desencadearia requisitos regulatórios diferentes. O processo afirma que a CFTC "não realizou sua própria análise" e "aprovou automaticamente o pedido da Kalshi".

No mesmo dia da aprovação, a CFTC emitiu uma carta de não atuação para a Coinbase referente a produtos semelhantes. O CEO cessante do CME, Terry Duffy, havia anunciado planos de processar o órgão no dia anterior.

A ex-conselheira geral da StarkWare, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, observou que não há um precedente claro sobre se a falta de vencimento determina a classificação de futuros.
