What happened
Citadel Securities filed a lawsuit in a New York federal court challenging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s approval of stock perpetual futures for U.S. exchanges. The lawsuit seeks to overturn the approval and classify these leveraged contracts as security-based swaps. The action was taken shortly after regulators cleared the contracts for trading.

Why it matters
The legal challenge places billions in potential trading volume into legal limbo. This situation raises questions about the competitive advantage held by Hyperliquid, which already lists these contracts outside the United States.
