CFTC moves to dismiss CME lawsuit over perpetual contracts

The CFTC has filed a motion seeking dismissal of CME's lawsuit concerning perpetual contracts.
The regulator argues that CME lacks standing because the exchange could offer similar products itself rather than challenging their availability through litigation.
The dispute could have broader implications for how crypto-style perpetual products are introduced into regulated U.S. derivatives markets and how incumbent exchanges respond to new contract structures.
