The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has recently imposed a penalty on the Nasdaq Futures Company, requiring them to pay up to $22 million in civil fines. This penalty stems from accusations that the Nasdaq Futures Company violated core principles, failed to provide sufficient transparency in incentive mechanisms, and submitted reports containing false and misleading information to the public. The CFTC's action aims to strengthen regulatory oversight of financial markets and protect investors from potential misconduct.
