The post After Perps Approval, Stablecoins Still Anchor Risk appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Picture a trader rotating out of altcoins after a volatile week. They don’t retreat to fiat; they sit in USDC, waiting for the next perp entry. This is how risk is actually warehoused in crypto: in dollars that live on-chain. That habit just met a new regulatory inflection. The CFTC approved a bitcoin-referenced perpetual futures contract, and separately offered staff-level relief around posting customer-owned digital commodities and payment stablecoins as margin in certain foreign-futures setups. The headlines may look technical, but they touch the very pipes of crypto risk. So the question isn’t whether stablecoins matter after “perps approval.” It’s why they are still the instrument most desks trust to meter, move, and measure risk. The Big Picture: Why This Moment Matters Regulatory clarity in derivatives tends to ripple out into collateral, settlement, and market structure. On May 29,

The post How Regulated Perps Could Reprice XRP appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Regulated crypto derivatives just took a decisive step forward, and that shift could matter most for large-cap altcoins like XRP. The post-ETF era taught markets how quickly structure changes can pull liquidity onshore and compress spreads. Perpetual swaps may be next. Three developments landed on the same week: a first-of-its-kind U.S.-listed bitcoin perpetual contract approval, a CFTC pathway for U.S. routing to foreign perpetuals, and 24/7 trading for CME’s crypto suite, including XRP futures. Together, they redraw how institutions hedge and price altcoin risk. This piece breaks down what “regulated perps” now mean, why XRP is positioned to benefit, and the practical implications for liquidity, basis, and risk management.

The post Regulated Perps vs DeFi: The New U.S. Challenger appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A regulated U.S. exchange just got the nod to list a bitcoin perpetual. That single sentence, unthinkable a few years ago, resets the race between onchain DEXs and compliant venues. On May 29, 2026, the CFTC approved KalshiEX’s BTCPERP—formally clearing a bitcoin-referenced perpetual futures product to trade under U.S. oversight (CFTC press release (Release No. 9240-26)). Hours later, the agency outlined how it will treat perpetuals going forward and gave clarity on how U.S. firms can route to offshore liquidity pools under conditions. For DeFi perpetual DEXs, a new competitor has arrived—onshore, regulated, and open 24/7. The Big Picture Editor’s note: In Q2 2026 I spent weeks comparing onshore pricing to offshore and DeFi perps during the CFTC’s late‑May actions. Dealers I speak with welcomed the case‑by‑case framework because it clarifies what they must prove in risk reviews, and a few FCM
