CFTC and SEC open public comment on derivatives definitions, set 60-day window

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission issued a joint request for public comment in Washington on June 18, 2026, on ways to update, clarify and harmonize certain derivatives product definitions. The agencies said the effort is aimed at assessing whether existing definitions, interpretations and jurisdictional frameworks still match evolving market structures, products and trading practices. The request also seeks input on interpretive questions tied to emerging products and potential alternative compliance approaches.
