We are writing to request clarification regarding the regulatory treatment of perpetual futures. Specifically, we would like to confirm whether, in cases where a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) offers listed futures contracts through a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) operating in Europe, the perpetual futures offered by the CIF would fall within the scope of Category 10 – Other Derivatives, as defined in the First Appendix, Part III of Law 87(I)/2017, as amended from time to time.

In addition, we would appreciate your confirmation on whether any leverage restrictions apply to perpetual futures, either under CySEC’s national rules or under EU-level requirements, particularly in the context of investor protection measures.
