Blockchain.com has applied for licenses from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to provide Bitcoin and cryptocurrency derivatives. The firm is seeking approval as a Designated Contract Market and Futures Commission Merchant, which would allow it to operate a futures exchange and broker derivatives in the U.S. This move places Blockchain.com among other firms vying for regulatory approval to expand their crypto-related offerings to U.S. retail and institutional clients. The application reflects a growing interest in regulated crypto derivatives markets, following Blockchain.com’s existing international offerings through platforms like Hyperliquid and Polymarket.
