Futures

Futures are derivative financial contracts that obligate parties to transact an asset at a predetermined future date and price. In the Web3 ecosystem, futures are essential tools for hedging risk and gaining leveraged exposure to market movements. By 2026, the market has seen a massive shift toward institutional-grade futures platforms with enhanced regulatory compliance. This tag covers the mechanics of delivery dates, margin requirements, and how professional traders use futures to navigate crypto volatility and secure long-term portfolio stability.

Aptos Labs CEO Joins CFTC Digital Assets Subcommittee

Aptos Labs CEO Joins CFTC Digital Assets Subcommittee

Aptos Labs CEO Avery Ching is officially part of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) subcommittee focused on digital assets, a June 30 X post from the blockchain technology company’s account revealed. Aptos Labs CEO Avery Ching Tapped For CFTC Subcommittee According to the Monday X post, Ching has joined the CFTC Digital Assets Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) Digital Assets Markets Subcommittee. The United States of Aptos 🇺🇸 Co-Founder & CEO of @AptosLabs , @AveryChing , joins the @CFTC GMAC Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee. Avery will collaborate with other leaders from Web3 and financial services to help shape digital asset regulations. pic.twitter.com/3j3toG65Mg — Aptos (@Aptos) June 30, 2025 According to the CFTC’s website , the subcommittee concerns itself with “issues that affect the integrity and competitiveness of U.S. markets and U.S. firms engaged in global business, including the regulatory challenges of a global marketplace.” “Avery will collaborate with other leaders from Web3 and financial services to help shape digital asset regulations,” the Monday social media post from Aptos Labs reads. Other members of the subcommittee include Capitoliis CEO Gil Mandelzis, Cargill Global Derivatives Operations Director Samina Anwar, and Uniswap Labs Chief Operating Officer Mary-Catherine Lader. CFTC Faces Staffing Shakeups News of Ching’s CFTC placement comes as the federal regulator navigates changes to crypto regulation under the new Trump administration. Four CFTC commissioners have decided to step down from their roles in recent months, with former commissioner Summer Mersinger leaving her position at the agency to begin her tenure as Blockchain Association CEO earlier this month. “There’s a growing crypto caucus in Congress, we have an executive branch that sees the inherent benefits of digital assets, and our regulatory agencies have turned the page from antagonism to collaboration,” Mersinger said in a June 2 X post. “We need to capture this moment and push pro-crypto policy across the finish line,” she added. Commissioner Caroline Pham is set to leave her position when Trump’s pick to lead the CFTC, Brian Quintenz, is appointed to his role, though a set date has yet to be confirmed. Quintenz previously spearheaded the CFTC from August 2017 through August 2021, with now former commissioner Kristin M. Johnson taking over his role in March 2022.
