FTX US Derivatives (FTX) to amend its order of registration as a DCO to allow it to modify its existing non-intermediated model. FTX currently operates a non-intermediated model and clears futures and options on futures contracts on a fully collateralized basis. In its request for an amended order of registration, FTX proposes to clear margined products for retail participants while continuing with a non-intermediated model The CFTC is seeking public comment on FTX’s request, including both on specific questions and policy issues raised by use of a non-intermediated model in this manner. The questions are available [here](https://www.cftc.gov/media/7031/CommentFTXAmendedOrder/download). CFTC recommends potential commenters to review FTX documents at this [link](https://sirt.cftc.gov/sirt/sirt.aspx?Topic=CommissionOrdersandOtherActionsAD&Key=47841) as you are considering your comments. Comments may be submitted electronically through the CFTC’s [Comments Online](https://comments.cftc.gov/PublicComments/CommentList.aspx?id=7254) process.
