Coinbase is the second most prominent and preferred cryptocurrency exchange and is constantly working on its global and broader expansion. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is one of the crucial institutions that can shape the crypto industry.
In its recent letter to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Coinbase stated that it plans to introduce futures trading for Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash.
Coinbase submitted its letter to the CFTC on March 07, 2024; the letter was addressed to Christopher Kirkpatrick, the secretary of the CFTC. The submitted document elaborates on detailed information on contract sizes, settlement methods, and structure.
The exchange utilizes the self-certification route under CFTC Regulation 40.2 (a) to list these future contracts, allowing them to proceed without direct approval from the CFTC as long as they follow the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations.
