The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) expanded regulatory relief for software companies, including crypto wallets, enabling them to provide access to regulated derivatives markets without registering as brokers. This means wallets can offer features like trading perpetual futures and event contracts while remaining just an interface, not a trading venue. However, this relief does not protect developers from criminal charges related to money transmission or sanctions violations, as seen in cases like Tornado Cash. The ruling clarifies the distinction between passive software providers and active financial intermediaries but does not override other federal laws or Justice Department actions.
