LME Proposes New Position Limit Framework

The London Metal Exchange has unveiled proposed regulatory adjustments regarding position limits for commodity trading. The new framework aims to enhance market stability and risk management across derivatives trading activities. These position limit modifications represent an important development in how major exchanges approach safeguards and participant exposure thresholds. The proposal reflects ongoing efforts within traditional financial markets to balance market liquidity with systemic risk mitigation—a principle increasingly relevant as trading platforms across sectors, including crypto exchanges, continue refining their compliance and safety protocols.

What is LME up to again... Can the traditional financial risk control framework really be moved onto the blockchain? I still feel like it's the same old approach.

LME is messing with position limits again... This thing is just the same in the crypto world. Basically, they're afraid that retail investors will suddenly blow up the market, hilarious.

LME is starting to mess with this again, honestly it's still afraid that retail investors will bottom out too aggressively... The old tricks of traditional exchanges are being learned by crypto exchanges as well, it seems everyone is afraid of getting wiped out.

What is LME up to now? Traditional finance has its set of rules, but we've already figured out crypto long ago... However, compliance is indeed important, or else we'll be targeted by the CFTC again.

LME is starting to mess with position limits again, basically fearing that big players will dump the market. The traditional finance system will eventually move into the crypto space, and by then, it will be even harder for retail investors like us to play.
