White House Review of CFTC Prediction Market Measures

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has submitted a new set of measures for regulating prediction markets to the White House for review.

These measures aim to clarify how event-linked derivatives are treated, whether they are listed on regulated futures exchanges or deployed via smart contracts accessible globally.

The proposal may have implications beyond niche crypto products and could influence what types of contracts are considered permissible in prediction markets.
