Derive: Governance proposal seeks authorization for US derivatives expansion - 12 Oct 2026
A US markets governance proposal is live on the Derive forum, seeking authorization for the Derive Foundation to pursue legal and regulatory pathways for bringing Derive's derivatives infrastructure into the United States.
