CFTC proposes limits on prediction-market contracts tied to sensitive events
The CFTC proposed stricter limits on event contracts involving activities prohibited under federal law, including war, terrorism and assassination. The commission opened a 45-day public comment period; it said the proposal would establish a review process before contracts reach the market and would not impose immediate bans.
Prediction-market platforms may need to account for proposed pre-market review of contracts involving sensitive events.
