The "new" guidance was issued over 6 months ago...

Whatever their reasons, it's clear that it wasn't the CFTC's guidance that made them suddenly pull the plug.

Maybe, maybe not.

I could kind of see them having conversations with a regulatory authority for a few months, trying to see if there's a way to keep having the product.

Then, when it's clearly "Nope, not going to happen", they shut it down. That could take ~6 months with extended negotiations.
