CFTC gives prediction markets 30 days to address state access blocks
The CFTC issued guidance saying state-based geographic restrictions generally conflict with impartial-access requirements for designated contract markets in the United States. It gave exchanges 30 days to remove conflicting blocks or explain to the Division of Market Oversight, with supporting evidence, why compliance is not feasible. The same framework applies to intermediaries and other entities providing market access.
Prediction market operators and intermediaries must review state access restrictions or justify why they cannot comply.
