Below is the translated version of the content:

To implement the requirements set out in the State Council’s Opinions on Strengthening Regulation, Preventing Risks, and Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Capital Market (Guofa [2024] No. 10, hereinafter referred to as the “Opinions”), and to carry out the provisions of the Futures and Derivatives Law of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the “Futures and Derivatives Law”), the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), based on a summary of practical experience, has formulated the Administrative Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Derivatives Trading (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the “Measures”).

The “Measures” represent the first departmental regulation governing the derivatives industry under the CSRC. They further clarify the primary institutional rules of the derivatives market and are of great significance for regulating derivatives trading activities, preventing risks in the derivatives market, promoting its steady, healthy, and orderly development, and protecting the lawful rights and interests of traders. They are also conducive to further leveraging the positive role of derivatives trading in risk management, resource allocation, and serving the real economy.

The derivatives trading referred to in the “Measures” means trading activities other than futures trading, including swaps, forwards, non-standardized option contracts, and combinations thereof. The Futures and Derivatives Law has brought derivatives trading within the scope of legal regulation and authorizes the CSRC to formulate specific rules. The “Opinions” propose the prudent and orderly development of the futures and derivatives market and call for improved regulatory systems for key businesses such as derivatives. The formulation of these Measures is a concrete step toward implementing the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, as well as advancing the implementation of the relevant provisions of the Futures and Derivatives Law.

The “Measures” set out provisions regarding derivatives trading and settlement, derivatives traders, derivatives business institutions, derivatives market infrastructure, supervision and administration, and legal liabilities. The main contents include:

1. Clarifying the scope of application.
2. Defining the functional positioning of the derivatives market in terms of risk management, resource allocation, and service to the real economy.
3. Establishing the basic principles that all parties participating in derivatives trading and related activities must follow, and prohibiting the use of derivatives trading for illegal or non-compliant activities.
4. Standardizing derivatives trading and its settlement arrangements.
5. Strengthening investor protection by specifying suitability requirements for traders and introducing a real-name account system for derivatives trading.
6. Enhancing supervision of derivatives business institutions by defining internal control and risk management requirements. It stipulates that securities companies and futures companies applying to conduct derivatives trading business must meet administrative licensing conditions, including maintaining net capital of no less than RMB 500 million continuously over the past six months. It also provides that, in accordance with the principles of prudent regulation, the CSRC may adjust the minimum net capital threshold, leaving room to impose higher requirements on relevant institutions as needed.
7. Strengthening supervision of derivatives market infrastructure.
8. Clarifying supervisory responsibilities and legal liabilities.

The “Measures” will come into force on November 16, 2026. From the date of implementation, all relevant entities engaging in derivatives trading and related activities will be subject to these provisions.
