CFTC weighs crypto-style trading tools for farm futures markets
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is considering whether crypto-style trading tools could be applied to agricultural futures markets, according to Farm Progress. The potential move would bring blockchain-inspired mechanisms, such as continuous or 24-hour trading, into markets for farm commodities. The idea signals a broader regulatory interest in modernizing US derivatives trading with technology first developed in cryptocurrency markets.
