Crypto Perpetual Futures: America’s Next Scandalous Affair?

If ever there was a nation that adored a spectacle, it is the United States—where even the most cryptic of currencies must eventually take a bow upon the grand stage of regulation. Commissioner Summer Mersinger, whose name alone conjures images of sun-drenched optimism, has let slip that crypto perpetual futures may soon be welcomed into the American fold. One can only imagine the regulators, monocles in hand, peering at their ledgers and wondering if this is progress or merely another chapter in the great American novel of financial farce.

Mersinger, soon to depart her post (presumably for greener pastures or at least less stressful cocktail parties), assures us that approval is nigh. She refrains from offering a timeline, perhaps wisely—after all, time is money, and in crypto, both are notoriously slippery. Yet she promises a “raft of benefits” for the US economy. One wonders if this raft comes with life jackets or if we are all expected to swim.

As the Senate gallops toward stablecoins and the GENIUS Act (one can only hope the acronym is as clever as its name suggests), America prepares to embrace yet another financial innovation with all the enthusiasm of a debutante at her first ball—nervous, excited, and entirely unsure if she’s about to make history or headlines.
