CFTC Chair Clarifies Bitcoin Perpetuals Leverage Limits at 2-3x, Not 250x, on June 15

Regulation & Policy Derivatives Data

2026-06-16 07:02:20

BTC-2.04%

According to CFTC Chairman Michael Selig on June 15, the regulatory body clarified four key misconceptions regarding crypto perpetual futures. Addressing concerns over high leverage, Selig stated that CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts are subject to the same leverage restrictions as other regulated futures contracts, with Bitcoin perpetuals typically operating at 2-3x leverage, not 250x. The extreme leverage offered by offshore exchanges reflects exchange-specific practices rather than the contract structure itself. Selig also clarified that CFTC regulations do not explicitly require fixed expiration dates for futures contracts, the agency conducted public comment periods receiving over 100 submissions, and funding rate mechanisms serve as market discipline to align perpetual prices with spot markets.
