Commodity Futures Trading Commission Adopts New Regulations for Designated Contract Markets in Security Futures Products

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has introduced new rules requiring national securities exchanges, associations, and alternative trading systems to follow specific procedures to become designated contract markets for security futures products, in line with the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. These markets will be subject to limited filing requirements and can apply for exemptions from certain sections of the Commodity Exchange Act if deemed necessary for investor protection.
