Star Xu: Perpetual futures may soon enter the regulated U.S. market
Star Xu, founder of OKX, announced a partnership with ICE and Trade[XYZ] to bring regulated perpetual futures to the U.S.
Key takeaways
- A three‑party partnership targets U.S. regulatory approval for perpetual futures.
- Combining traditional exchange infrastructure with on‑chain tech could lower barriers for institutional traders.
- Successful rollout would signal broader acceptance of crypto derivatives in regulated markets.
Star Xu wrote that OKX is teaming up with ICE’s institutional‑grade market infrastructure and Trade[XYZ]’s on‑chain technology to launch regulated perpetual futures in the United States. The post highlights three distinct strengths, ICE’s compliance framework, Trade[XYZ]’s blockchain innovation, and OKX’s trading platform, aimed at creating a global, 24/7 market that is more open and efficient. Xu’s announcement matters because regulated perpetual futures have been largely absent from the U.S., and a collaboration of this scale could set a precedent for how crypto derivatives are offered under U.S. securities law.
“An exciting step toward bringing perpetual futures into the regulated U.S. market. Combining ICE’s institutional-grade market infrastructure, Trade[XYZ]’s onchain innovation, and OKX’s distribution and trading technology could help create a new generation of global, 24/7 financial markets. Different technologies. Different strengths. One shared vision: making financial markets more open, efficient, and accessible. Looking forward to building this together. 🚀”
