The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opened a June 18 public comment process on product definitions that could influence which agency regulates certain derivatives products. According to NS3.AI, comments will be accepted for 60 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register.

The agencies said the definitions and labels under review could help determine regulatory oversight for swaps, mixed swaps, event contracts, and alternative compliance approaches. The consultation could also shape how crypto-related products such as perpetual futures and prediction-market offerings are treated under U.S. rules.

The update noted that each agency is maintaining its existing authority during the process, and the final outcome remains unsettled.
