Will derivatives be eventually regulated? At the moment, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are drafting legal language to submit to Congress on the details of regulating the derivatives markets. Just which agency will take the lead in overseeing these markets is not clear at this writing. The SEC is the older of the two agencies.
There had been some talk about merging the two agencies, but political pressure has all but ruled this out. It now looks like they will share the oversight responsibilities.
