Commodity traders can now submit new products with fewer steps
What happened
The US derivatives regulator fixed a rule that made it harder for companies to submit new products and rule changes. Companies can now use a simpler process to get approval for new trading products and services.
Why it matters
The US derivatives market relies on companies submitting new products and rule changes for approval. A complicated submission process slows down innovation and makes it harder for the market to adapt. This change means new financial products can get to market faster.
The signal
Watch for an increase in the number of new product submissions to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the next 12 months.
