Will the US Markets Soon see Ether Futures?

Yesterday, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Heath Tarbert in All Markets Summit by Yahoo Finance hinted on Ether Futures trading in the US markets in the near future.

Tarbert in the summit also said that CFTC had always been clear on Bitcoin and the fact that it is a commodity. He further mentioned that per his view as the Chairman of the CFTC, Ether is a commodity. Thus, resonating with SEC’s previous ruling that Bitcoin and Ether are not securities. Furthermore, he said that CFTC is working in close cooperation with the SEC to provide clarity on these issues.
