Withdrawal of Commission Guidance Regarding the Listing of Voluntary Carbon Credit Derivative Contracts

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission withdrew its October 2024 guidance on listing voluntary carbon credit derivative contracts as of September 10, 2025. The Commission determined that existing regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act already provide a sufficient framework, rendering the non-binding guidance of limited value. This action aims to prevent disproportionate focus on a specific derivative class and ensure a uniform regulatory approach for all contracts listed on designated contract markets.
