CFTC cancels prediction-markets roundtable scheduled for 30 April
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission cancelled its planned 30 April roundtable on regulation of prediction markets on 24 April, with no replacement date set. A CFTC attorney said further details would follow, while an agency official said the event was being reshaped into a forum or hearing with panels representing different stakeholder views.
The cancellation delays a CFTC discussion of regulatory questions affecting sports event contracts and prediction markets.
