CFTC No-Action Position for Reporting of Fully Collateralized Binary and Variable Payout Event Contracts

Applies to: Market infrastructure

The Divisions will not recommend enforcement action against designated contract markets (DCMs) and derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) for failing to comply with specific swap reporting regulations, including Parts 43 and 45, regarding fully collateralized binary payout contracts and similar variable payout event contracts. This position applies only if the contracts are listed on a DCM, cleared by a DCO, and reported directly to the Commission using transaction data formats similar to those required for futures and options under Regulation 16.02. Beneficiaries must also publish trade timestamps, prices, quantities, and contract details on their websites promptly after execution and keep required records available for inspection by the Commission or other authorized regulators. The no-action position remains effective until a final rule is adopted by the Commission addressing the broader reporting of event contracts.
