U.S. Futures Exchange (USFE) provides retail investors with a new way to participate in the growing global currency markets with the introduction of FX Spot Equivalent Futures contracts (SEFs). SEFs replicate spot foreign exchange markets in a U.S. regulated exchange environment. Trading is the same as on over-the-counter platforms, but with the customer protections and transparency of a regulated and cleared U.S. futures exchange.
