Bitnomial to Launch US Spot Crypto Trading as First DCM Self-Certified Under CFTC Rules

Industry outlets report that Bitnomial is positioned to become the first U.S. derivatives venue to offer spot cryptocurrency trading. The exchange reportedly filed self-certification paperwork under CFTC Regulation 40.6(a), signaling readiness to align with a Commodity Exchange Act within a formal framework.

The self-certified rules cover the listing of spot products, including retail leveraged spot trading, under CEA Section 2(c)(2)(D), enabling direct trading and settlement of digital assets on the platform.

Documents dated November 13 indicate the relevant rules took effect last Friday, suggesting that spot trading could launch within the coming days, subject to ongoing regulatory validation by the Designated Contract Markets framework.

For investors, the development may enhance access and transparency while reinforcing compliance controls. Market participants should monitor ongoing disclosures and risk-management safeguards as Bitnomial edges toward enabling new spot markets on a U.S. exchange.
