CFTC Clears The Way For Regulated Crypto, Bitcoin Perpetuals—Kalshi Moves Next
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced Friday that it is allowing CFTC-registered exchanges to list a perpetual contract tied to the market’s leading crypto, Bitcoin (BTC). CFTC Ramps Up Crypto Perpetual Access In its announcement, the CFTC said the move creates a clearer path for liquid Bitcoin perpetual products to operate within US rules. The agency also framed the change as aligned with President Trump’s stated goal of cementing the United States as the world’s crypto capital, calling the availability of true perpetuals within the country a major advance. The announcement also comes alongside a separate regulatory action: the CFTC issued a no-action letter to crypto exchange Coinbase. According to the regulator’s guidance, the letter allows Coinbase’s US customers to access the options and perpetuals the company already offers. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal called the development a “massive first for the industry” in a post on X (Previously Twitter), saying it reflects an effort to bring “proven global products under American regulation,” which he argued is key to making the US a leading hub for crypto. Kalshi Announces Perpetual Futures In response to the regulatory shift, Kalshi announced Friday that it plans to launch perpetual futures contracts, beginning with crypto perpetuals. The company positioned its entry as providing US traders with a regulated alternative to offshore platforms. Kalshi said the offshore perpetual market expanded sharply, rising from $28 trillion in annual volume in 2023 to more than $90 trillion in 2025. The prediction market platform indicated that regulation will be the differentiator for its crypto product. The firm said funding rates will be charged every eight hours and will be visible in transaction history. It also clarified that agricultural commodity perpetuals will not be included in the initial lineup. Featured image created with OpenArt; chart from TradingView.com

Pundit Says The Clock Is Ticking For XRP, Here’s What To Know
XRP has spent the better part of 2026 grinding sideways in what looks like a coiling spring, except the spring may not be loading for an upward surge. XRP’s four-month consolidation has trapped its price below a major resistance zone at $1.65, and according to crypto pundit CasiTrades, the clock is ticking because XRP is now exposed to one more move into lower macro support before any stronger recovery attempt begins. Four Months Of Failure At $1.65 CasiTrades’ analysis is based on XRP’s inability to break back above the upper boundary of its consolidation structure on the 4-hour candlestick chart. As shown on the chart below, XRP has spent several months moving inside a range with lower highs. That has created a compression pattern where the next decisive move could be important for the broader trend. Related Reading: Hedging With XRP: The Trillion-Dollar Push That Could Send Price Above $300 The most important level in the analysis is $1.65, because this price level has acted as the ceiling of the current structure since February, and each rejection from that area has weakened the immediate bullish case. According to CasiTrades, the longer the XRP price fails to reclaim $1.65, the more likely it becomes that it needs one final flush into the lower macro supports. The analyst laid out the entire XRP price action since early 2026 within an Elliott Wave triangle structure with sub-impulse waves. Lower Macro Supports For XRP CasiTrades was explicit about the downside levels she is watching: $1.10 and $0.87 on Coinbase. The $1.10 area corresponds with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at approximately $1.0854, while the $0.87 price target aligns with the 0.854 retracement near $0.8621. Related Reading: Key Volume Signals Are Driving XRP Momentum Amid Market Uncertainty The next confirmed support is between $1.26 and $1.30, and a break below that range could push XRP to the year-to-date low around $1.11, which will bring those deeper targets closer. Interestingly, both price targets come from the broader macro downtrend that has shaped XRP’s structure over the past several months. The projected move would also complete the corrective sub-impulse wave 5 that began in February 2026, as well as the larger corrective wave 2 that started in late 2025. This does not mean the bullish structure is fully invalidated. In fact, the pundit’s prediction appears to be that a move into macro support could become the final flush before a stronger recovery. The chart shows a large projected rebound from the lower support zone, with the XRP price eventually pushing back through $1.65 and breaking back above $2 if there’s enough bullish momentum. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.32 and is currently open to any path. The first real sign of a bullish shift will be XRP reclaiming $1.65 and turning it into support.

CFTC approves first regulated Bitcoin perpetual contract in US
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has approved the first regulated Bitcoin perpetual contract in the United States, greenlighting Kalshi’s BTCPERP product and clearing the way for similar listings by Coinbase’s futures arm. The move represents a landmark step in bringing perpetual crypto derivatives onto federally supervised trading venues. Bitcoin briefly climbed toward $74,000 as traders reacted to the news. CFTC gives nod to Bitcoin Perps in US The CFTC issued an order allowing KalshiEX, LLC, a designated contract market, to list a perpetual contract referencing the spot price of Bitcoin. The BTCPERP futures contract is the first of its kind to receive federal authorization on a CFTC-registered exchange and will be listed under Section 5c(c)(4) of the Commodity Exchange Act. In a comment, Tarek Mansour, CEO of Kalshi, said: "This marks Kalshi’s evolution from prediction market leader to next-gen derivatives exchange. Onshore, safe, and regulated perps will improve capital allocation and risk management for countless American businesses." Alongside Kalshi’s approval, the regulator also signaled support for Coinbase’s planned perpetual futures offerings. The CFTC indicated it would permit certain perpetual futures products that Coinbase intends to list through its subsidiary, Coinbase Financial Markets, Inc., a registered futures commission merchant. Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong called the development a “big day” for the exchange and its US-based traders, framing the approvals as a major expansion of regulated access to crypto derivatives markets. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/2060363686200361229 Customer protections and market integrity Perpetual contracts, commonly called perps, are derivatives that allow traders to speculate on the future price of an asset without a contract expiration date. Unlike traditional futures, perps can be held indefinitely, often rely on funding-rate mechanisms to tether prices to spot markets, and typically permit leverage. That combination magnifies both potential gains and losses, making the regulatory framework governing them especially important for retail and institutional participants alike. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig described the decision as approval of the first “true” Bitcoin perpetual contract on a CFTC-registered exchange and framed it as a step toward onshoring perpetual trading activity. “Today’s action to onshore crypto asset perpetuals reflects the CFTC’s commitment to fostering responsible innovation while ensuring that these novel products are traded on regulated exchanges that uphold customer protections and market integrity,” Selig said. He added that the same commitment would continue guiding the Commission as it builds a US-based infrastructure for emerging financial products. Regulators’ approvals also establish expectations for strong surveillance, counterparty safeguards, margin protocols, and transparent pricing mechanisms that keep perpetual contracts closely tied to underlying spot markets. US crypto regulation enters new phase The CFTC’s move marks another significant step in the evolution of US crypto regulation. By approving regulated perpetual products, the agency is acknowledging growing institutional and retail demand while bringing a major segment of crypto derivatives trading under federal oversight. The decision could pave the way for broader adoption of regulated crypto derivatives products in the US, potentially reshaping how traders access leveraged digital asset markets going forward.

Major Glitch Sent XRP Price Beyond $10,000,000 On These Exchanges
XRP recently spiked above $10 million per token across nearly every major exchange in an unusual glitch that has since gone viral. Crypto enthusiast Paul White (@PaulGoldEagle) posted a screenshot celebrating the anomaly and its widespread nature. The screenshot shows XRP Markets data across Binance, Crypto.com Exchange, Huobi Global, FTX, KuCoin, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Kraken, Bybit, Bittrex, Liquid, and others. Nearly every XRP/BTC pair displayed prices between $9.1 million and $13.9 million per token. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! #XRP GLITCH $10,000,000+ per $XRP on almost every crypto exchange! pic.twitter.com/hTSn4BVgpL — Paul White Gold Eagle (@PaulGoldEagle) May 28, 2026 A Pattern Across Exchanges XRP price glitches have appeared repeatedly over the years. In August 2024, a glitch showed XRP at $62,000 . This glitch occurred shortly before the 2024 court ruling, when the Judge lowered Ripple’s penalty and upheld XRP’s status, leading many to believe it was a sign of things to come. Months later, in January 2025, users reported XRP at $81.91 and $95.57 in wallet apps, with the anomaly affecting other assets too. Ethereum showed $38,312, and Solana appeared at $6,071 on one portfolio tracker screenshot during that same episode. This glitch saw XRP climb by 3,334% , a figure many see as realistic. How the XRP Community Responds The XRP community pays close attention to these events. Many holders consider XRP undervalued at its current price and treat these glitches as significant. Some view the figures as a reflection of XRP’s true worth. Others interpret them as system tests or indicators of underlying liquidity trends. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Analysts attribute glitches like these to data feed errors, exchange system malfunctions, or liquidity irregularities on lower-volume trading pairs. Platforms processing millions of transactions per second can produce price distortions during brief miscalculations. XRP Price Glitch Continues to Circulate White’s post gained traction among XRP followers. The screenshot covers 20 exchange listings, making it one of the more extensive visual records of the glitch to date. The recurrence of these anomalies keeps the conversation active within the XRP community. XRP currently trades at $1.28, well below the levels shown in any of these glitches. The asset has a dedicated following that treats every data point as meaningful. The community has long held that XRP trades well below its actual value, and glitches like this reinforce that belief for many holders.
