Embracing crypto is seemingly turning into a family affair for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, whose 22-year-old son is reportedly planning to launch his own derivative exchange.<\/p>\n

Theodore Gillibrand, the son of the crypto-friendly New York Democrat, has reportedly raised $30 million in a fundraiser led by venture firm Lux Capital for a deal valued at $300 million.<\/p>\n

His startup, American Perpetuals Exchange Corporation, plans to offer perpetual futures contracts, allowing traders to bet on the price of assets without holding them and without expiration dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that the future of these markets is not in offshore and unregulated foreign entities but rather in a regulated and institutional American company,\u201d Mr. Gillibrand said in a statement to Fortune.<\/p>\n

APEC plans to apply for a license from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to offer perpetuals for equities and stock indices rather than cryptocurrencies, according to a presentation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American Perpetuals Exchange Corporation will be offering perpetual futures on US equities,\u201d a company spokesperson told The New York Post. \u201cThere will be no cryptocurrencies on the platform and the platform is not built on blockchain technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Gillibrand has become one of Capitol Hill\u2019s most prominent Democratic allies and leading architects for cryptocurrency regulation and stablecoin legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son is a grown adult starting his own independent business,\u201d she said in a statement to The Post. \u201cI have no involvement in it whatsoever. That said, I\u2019m enormously proud of him and wish him nothing but the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has continued to push for broader market structure legislation, engaging in ongoing negotiations in the Senate to bring digital asset trading \u2014 including perpetual futures \u2014 under U.S. regulatory oversight to protect consumers.<\/p>\n

Ms. Gillibrand was a leading Democrat in the introduction of the GENIUS Act, legislation establishing regulation for stablecoins, cryptocurrency designed to maintain predictable value by \u201cpegging\u201d to real-world assets like the U.S. dollar. President Trump signed the bill into law last July.<\/p>\n

She also partnered with Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming Republican, to introduce a bill that aims to establish clear regulatory jurisdictions for digital assets, dividing oversight between the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n
