CFTC Chair: Real Crypto Perpetual Contracts Are About to Launch Legally in the U.S. On March 26, 2026, CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig @ChairmanSelig revealed during an interview with Anthony Pompliano that crypto perpetual contracts (PERPs) are about to be launched legally within the U.S. Currently, the CFTC is working on addressing the classification of this product under existing regulations to replace the market’s 50-year settlement 'quasi-perpetual contracts.' With robust regulatory safeguards in place, real perpetual contracts are expected to debut within the next few weeks to a month. Selig believes this will be a huge win for the entire industry and the American public. Source: Anthony Pompliano
