The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking seeking public comment on amendments to Parts 37, 38 and 39 of the CFTC’s regulations, along with Sections 1.52 and 1.55. The comment period will remain open for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The proposal is aimed at addressing potential conflicts of interest tied to growing affiliations among regulated entities, including derivatives clearing organizations, designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, futures commission merchants and market makers. CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig said the proposal would create a principles-based regulatory framework for vertically integrated market structures while preserving market integrity and supporting innovation in U.S. derivatives markets.
