Latest NewsPublishedMay 29, 2026
Breaking News: US Regulator Opens Door to 24/7 Crypto Trading
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has taken a significant step towards embracing cryptocurrency perpetual futures contracts, paving the way for 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement. This move is expected to have a major impact on the industry, allowing users to speculate on crypto prices without owning the underlying assets. For those looking to earn passive income through crypto, this development could be a game-changer, especially with platforms like EcoPool offering Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto solutions.
The CFTC has issued notices affecting platforms seeking to offer cryptocurrency perpetual futures contracts, including a no-action position for Coinbase and approval for Kalshi. This means that users on these platforms can now trade perpetual futures contracts tied to the spot price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. With EcoPool ($ECP), users can also earn rewards and participate in the passive income ecosystem, making it an attractive option for those interested in earning online.
What This Means for Crypto Enthusiasts

Trump touts CFTC’s authority, with no additional commissioner nominations
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump posted to social media, in a statement supporting Michael Selig and the CFTC in their fight for jurisdiction over prediction markets. The post came amid several state-level lawsuits attempting to restrict or ban the platforms, while Selig claims the agency has “exclusive jurisdiction” under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Selig remains the chair and sole commissioner at the federal commodities regulator in a panel intended to consist of a bipartisan group of five people. As of Friday, Trump had not announced any nominations to fill the seats.
