Oof, does this open up all margin and leverage trading platforms to CFTC actions? There are a ton out there. I’d assume most of these platforms are going to block US IPs if they’re not already. I wonder if this one was already blocking US IPs.

It would seem so. Not a lawyer or regulator but that’s my interpretation.

This is why I was very leery of any leverage and frankly even a DEX.

I wonder where our “YOU PROMISED A 5X LEVERAGE DEX” troll is right now…
