The CFTC, or Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is a U.S. federal agency that regulates the derivatives markets, which include futures, swaps, and certain kinds of options. The CFTC’s mission is to foster open, transparent, competitive, and financially sound markets. By overseeing and enforcing the regulations in these markets, the CFTC helps to protect market participants from fraud, manipulation, and abusive practices related to derivatives and other financial products that are subject to the Commodity Exchange Act. Understanding the role of the CFTC is crucial for anyone participating in or affected by the derivatives markets.
