CFTC proposes US prediction-market rules with 45-day consultation
The CFTC published a proposed rule for prediction markets in the United States and opened a 45-day public consultation, according to the report. The proposal would not prohibit sports-event contracts but identifies markets including athlete injuries, officiating decisions and youth or school sports as potentially contrary to the public interest. Kalshi and Polymarket are among the platforms operating in the sector.
The proposal could shape which sports-related contracts prediction-market platforms may offer in the United States.
