On April 22, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that the Market Oversight, Clearing and Risk, and Market Participants Departments jointly issued a "Request for Comments" to comprehensively assess the potential uses, benefits, and risks of perpetual contracts in the "perpetual derivatives" market under their supervision.

The key points of the comment solicitation include comments on the characteristics of perpetual derivatives, including features that may vary across different products, and their impact on trading, clearing, and risk management. Comments are also sought on the risks of perpetual derivatives, including risks related to market integrity, customer protection, or retail trading.
