The prediction markets world is buzzing as the U.S. CFTC publicly backs federally regulated event-contract platforms, including Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com, in the face of growing state-level legal challenges. This bold stance reinforces that these markets — where users trade on outcomes like elections, sports, or economic events — are treated as legitimate derivatives under federal law, not unlicensed gambling.
The Commission’s support comes with clearer regulatory direction and a push to defend national oversight against fragmented state rules. While some critics argue this could blur lines with traditional betting, many see it as a step toward mainstream adoption and innovation in crypto and financial derivatives.
