Key Developments & Data
Zubiqo Strategic Assessment
Primary Impact
Traditional US derivatives exchanges like CME Group face direct margin pressure as regulators refuse to block crypto-native entrants from launching onshore perpetual futures.
Strategic Shift
US regulatory agencies are increasingly defending their approvals of novel financial products in court rather than bowing to incumbent pressure campaigns.
The Ripple Effect
If the court dismisses the lawsuit, Kalshi and competing venues will rapidly expand their onshore perpetual listings beyond bitcoin to capture retail volume.
