CFTC sets conditions for removing expiry from broad-based index futures

  • —CFTC issued conditions on Oct. 5, 2026 for converting index futures to perpetual contracts
  • —DCMs must notify position holders and give them an opportunity to unwind
  • —Contract changes must be filed under CFTC rules 40.5 or 40.6 with certification
  • —The no-action position expires on Oct. 20, 2026
Why it matters: Perpetual index futures could broaden access to trading without rollovers, though the relief is only temporary for now.
