CFTC rulemaking refers to the process by which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission develops and issues new regulations. This procedure involves proposing rules, soliciting public comments, and finalizing legal standards governing commodity derivatives markets. The CFTC’s actions aim to maintain market integrity, prevent manipulation, and protect market participants. These rules shape the operational landscape for entities dealing in commodities and their derivatives.
