January 30 News, the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Michael Selig, hinted at the launch of a new regulatory framework for prediction markets, providing clearer and more consistent rules for this rapidly growing industry. Selig pointed out that restrictive proposals previously aimed at political and sports-related prediction markets have been withdrawn, and the planned consultation has also been canceled to reduce market uncertainty. During an event with the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul Atkins, Selig stated that although prediction markets have a long history, they are still viewed by some as novel or unstable, and this uncertainty is not conducive to market development and public interest. He pledged to work with the SEC to develop forward-looking comprehensive regulatory measures while maintaining principles of investor protection, anti-fraud, anti-manipulation, and market integrity.
