According to an announcement on the CFTC’s official website, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on July 30, seeking public comment on proposed amendments to Parts 37, 38, and 39, as well as Sections 1.52 and 1.55. The comment period will last 60 days following publication in the Federal Register. These amendments address the growing interconnections among CFTC-regulated entities, including derivatives clearing organizations, designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, futures commission merchants, and market makers, with a focus on mitigating potential conflicts of interest in vertically integrated market structures. CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig stated that the proposed rules aim to establish a principles-based regulatory framework for vertically integrated market structures, preserving market integrity while avoiding undue suppression of innovative market structures or imposing excessive compliance burdens on registered entities.
