[US CFTC Proposes Amendments to Multiple Regulatory Rules to Strengthen Management of Conflicts of Interest Among Affiliated Entities] The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to solicit public comments on amendments to Parts 37, 38, and 39 of the CFTC Regulations, as well as Sections 1.52 and 1.55. The comment period will last 60 days following publication in the Federal Register. These amendments aim to address potential conflicts of interest arising from the increasing affiliations among regulated entities such as Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs), Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), Swap Execution Facilities (SEFs), Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), and market makers. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated that the new rules will establish a principles-based regulatory framework for vertically integrated market structures, supporting innovation in the U.S. derivatives market while safeguarding market integrity.
