The agency noted that the shift to 24\/7 trading and clearing &#8220;may not currently be suitable for all asset classes&#8221; due to differences in underlying markets.<\/p>\n<p>The CFTC acknowledged that blockchain infrastructure, alternative forms of collateral \u2014 including crypto assets and <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-are-stablecoins\">stablecoins<\/a> \u2014 and mobile access have made the 24\/7 model viable for digital assets. Platforms already offer continuous access to both retail and institutional clients.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional markets, including agricultural derivatives, are less prepared for such a regime. The reasons include the specifics of the client base, regional structure, and hedging features.<\/p>\n<p>The main risk is abuse during periods of reduced oversight. The transition of individual products to a round-the-clock mode could impact liquidity, increase volatility, and widen spreads, creating more opportunities for manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator has demanded that platforms enhance compliance and notify the commission in advance of plans to launch a 24\/7 model.<\/p>\n<p>The letter was released on the same day the CFTC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cftc.gov\/PressRoom\/PressReleases\/pr-9242-26\">approved<\/a> crypto companies to launch perpetual futures on a 24\/7 basis.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase stated that it is already restructuring traditional financial services on crypto infrastructure.
