The SEC promotes clearing process for regulated stock perpetual contracts in the United States
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is taking steps to allow eligible companies to engage in regulated stock perpetual contract business. Effective called the move an important turning point in U.S. financial markets, marking the prospect of financial innovation returning home.
According to Aggressive, this move by the SEC reverses the trend of the past decade. Previously, as U.S. regulatory rules lagged behind global markets, a large number of liquidity, talents and developers flowed overseas. Now, as regulated companies such as Kalshi enter the digital assets and stocks space, Injective believes this proves that U.S. regulators can keep pace with the development of on-chain finance.
Since 2021, Aggressive has been providing on-chain perpetual contract market services, and its operating hours far exceed that of most competitors in the industry. To date, Injective has driven more than $81 billion in trading volume in the real assets (RWA), stocks and cryptocurrencies. All transactions are conducted through a completely transparent on-chain order book that can be verified in real time by any user.
In addition, Aggressive Institutional Services has registered with the SEC as a Transfer Agent, making it the first Layer-1 blockchain network to have an associated SEC-registered transfer agent. The company said the move supports its broader strategic goal of bringing regulated securities online.
Recently, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) also approved INJ's U.S. regulated futures contracts. These contracts are currently traded on the Bitnomial exchange, which will also offer securities and futures products.
