Derivatives market oversight involves the supervision and regulation of financial instruments whose value derives from an underlying asset. This function ensures market fairness, transparency, and stability by preventing fraud, manipulation, and excessive risk-taking. Regulatory bodies establish rules for trading venues, clearinghouses, and participants. Effective oversight protects investors and maintains confidence in financial systems.

Critical future developments include establishing clear rules for crypto derivatives trading platforms and implementing robust risk mitigation measures tailored to the volatility of digital assets.
