#PredictionMarketsCFTCBacking
Big regulatory moment for prediction markets — the CFTC is publicly defending federal oversight of event-based markets like Kalshi, Polymarket & Crypto.com as legal battles heat up with state regulators. 🇺🇸⚖️
🛡️ CFTC filed an amicus brief reaffirming its exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets, arguing they’re federally regulated event contracts — not state-licensed gambling.
📍 Meanwhile legal fights with states like Nevada intensify, and the agency is also drafting new rules and forming advisory committees with industry execs.
Market watchers see this as a potential turning point for legitimacy & growth — but regulatory uncertainty still looms. 🔍💥
