Coinbase's Oct. 26 perpetual conversion leaves Coin50 outside CFTC letter's scope

  • —Filing #2026-67 names US500, Tech100, Defense10, AI10, China10 and Coin50
  • —Letter 26-29 expired Oct. 20; Coinbase plans to go live Oct. 26
  • —A footnote excludes contracts not tied to broad-based security indices
  • —Neither Coinbase nor the CFTC has addressed Coin50's status publicly
Why it matters: The outcome decides whether Coin50 becomes the first U.S.-listed crypto index perpetual or faces a 90-day CFTC review.
