CoinDesk reports that a group supported by Citadel Securities has sued the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The lawsuit challenges the CFTC's recent decision to clear a path for perpetual contracts, arguing that such contracts should fall under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This legal clash comes shortly after the CFTC's move to facilitate a crypto version of these contracts.
