Jake Chervinsky of the Hyperliquid Policy Center revealed on X that the U.S. CFTC has filed a motion to dismiss CME’s lawsuit regarding crypto perpetual contracts. The CFTC argues that CME lacks standing, noting it is permitted to offer such contracts and any harm would be self-inflicted. Chervinsky quoted the regulator describing the case as “a tempest in a teapot.” Amid ongoing concerns around CFT (Countering the Financing of Terrorism), the outcome could impact liquidity and crypto markets.
