CFTC Launches Public Comment Period for Prediction Market Contract Assessment Framework

According to Odaily, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig announced a public comment period to establish a structured framework for evaluating event types that could support prediction market trading contracts. The framework will provide long-term, transparent regulatory guidelines to identify contracts subject to congressional oversight while allowing compliant markets to operate in the public interest.

Selig emphasized this is not the final rulemaking on prediction markets, with the agency continuing to balance market integrity and innovation support.
