CFTC issues no-action position for passive software providers

  • The CFTC published a no-action position for passive software providers
  • The regulator will not pursue them for failing to register as brokers
  • The relief applies when connecting users to registered FCMs, IBs and DCMs
Why it matters: It reduces regulatory uncertainty for trading software developers and eases access to regulated derivatives markets.
