Coinbase 將於 4 月 1 日推出狗狗幣、萊特幣和比特幣 bash 的期貨交易

加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase Derivatives 計劃推出狗狗幣、萊特幣和比特幣現金的期貨交易。該交易所將根據 CFTC 條例 40.2(a) 使用自我認證途徑來列出這些期貨合約，這些期貨合約將以現金結算，並基於 Market Vector 的基準利率。將這些加密貨幣歸類為商品引發了監管問題，因為它們源於比特幣，而比特幣被 SEC 視為商品。

Dogecoin might have begun as a joke, but this April Fool's Day, it's getting serious attention. Coinbase Derivatives plans to kick off futures trading for the top dog in memecoins, alongside litecoin and bitcoin cash.

狗狗幣一開始可能只是個笑話，但今年愚人節，它受到了認真的關注。 Coinbase Derivatives 計劃啟動迷因幣、萊特幣和比特幣現金的期貨交易。

On March 7, through three separate letters to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the crypto exchange announced its intention to launch monthly cash-settled futures contracts for dogecoin, litecoin and bitcoin cash. These communications, directed to CFTC Secretary Christopher Kirkpatrick, detailed the proposed contracts' sizes, settlement methods (leveraging a benchmark rate by Market Vector), and structure.

3 月 7 日，該加密貨幣交易所透過三封單獨致商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 的信函，宣布打算推出狗狗幣、萊特幣和比特幣現金的每月現金結算期貨合約。這些針對 CFTC 秘書 Christopher Kirkpatrick 的通訊詳細介紹了擬議合約的規模、結算方法（利用 Market Vector 的基準利率）和結構。

Coinbase highlighted in these letters that it's leveraging the self-certification route under CFTC Regulation 40.2(a) to list these futures contracts. This procedure permits exchanges to introduce new offerings without awaiting direct CFTC approval, provided they affirm the product's adherence to the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations.

Coinbase 在這些信件中強調，它正在利用 CFTC 條例 40.2(a) 規定的自我認證途徑來列出這些期貨合約。該程式允許交易所推出新產品，而無需等待 CFTC 的直接批准，前提是交易所確認產品遵守《商品交易法》和 CFTC 法規。

Given that all three cryptocurrencies stem from bitcoin, which the Securities and Exchange Commission recognizes as a commodity, their classification raises interesting regulatory questions. Bloomberg Intelligence ETF research analyst James Seyffart posted on X.com, "This is interesting... wonder if the SEC objects to these being classified 'commodities futures' versus 'securities futures'. Given their origins from Bitcoin, arguing these as securities would be challenging, especially after spot #Bitcoin ETF approvals. Coinbase's selection might be strategic🤔."

鑑於這三種加密貨幣都源自於比特幣，而美國證券交易委員會將比特幣視為一種商品，因此它們的分類引發了有趣的監管問題。彭博資訊ETF 研究分析師James Seyffart 在X.com 上發文表示：「這很有趣…想知道SEC 是否反對將它們歸類為'商品期貨'和'證券期貨』。鑑於它們起源於比特幣，將它們視為證券會具有挑戰性，尤其是在#Bitcoin ETF 現貨獲得批准之後。Coinbase 的選擇可能是戰略性的🤔。”
