TechFlame News: The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking public comment on amendments to Parts 37, 38, and 39 of the CFTC Regulations, as well as Rules 1.52 and 1.55. The comment period will remain open for 60 days following publication in the Federal Register. The proposed amendments are designed to address potential conflicts of interest arising from the increasing interconnectedness among regulated entities, including Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs), Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), Swap Execution Facilities (SEFs), Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), and market makers. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated that the new rules would establish a principles-based regulatory framework for vertically integrated market structures, supporting innovation in U.S. derivatives markets while maintaining market integrity.
