ChainCatcher News, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Market Oversight, Clearing and Risk, and Market Participants Division today jointly released a "Request for Comments" aimed at comprehensively assessing the potential applications, advantages, and risks of implementing a 24/7 trading model in the derivatives markets under its regulation.

CFTC Acting Chair Carolyn D. Pham stated, "The CFTC must proactively address changes in market structure while ensuring market vitality and resilience, safeguarding the rights of all participants. There is currently a trend towards expanding trading hours to 24/7, 24/6, or 24/5, and we look forward to feedback and suggestions from all sectors on this innovation."

This request for comments focuses on: the differentiated impact of expanding CFTC-regulated derivatives markets to 24/7 trading on trade clearing, risk management systems, potential risks to market integrity, customer protection, and retail trading that may arise from the 24/7 trading model, as well as the challenges faced by the associated clearing systems in a continuous operating environment.
