Summary
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Wednesday it will host an industry roundtable on Dec. 15 on whether derivatives markets can viably move to 24/7 trading, according to a CFTC press release.
The CFTC said the discussion builds on its Request for Comment on 24/7 trading earlier this summer and will cover overnight trading, tokenization, infrastructure and staffing needs, and operational readiness.
Chairman Selig said the CFTC “will not take a one‑size‑fits‑all approach to 24/7 trading” and wants to hear industry views across different asset classes.
The event at CFTC headquarters in Washington will be open to the public and livestreamed, with the agenda, speakers and registration details to be posted later.
