特朗普支持CFTC对预测市场保有专属管辖权

Odaily Odaily Planet Daily News: US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that it is crucial for the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to retain "exclusive jurisdiction" over prediction markets, echoing the stance of CFTC Chairman Michael Selig. Trump also stated that the US is formulating relevant rules and referenced his campaign promise to make the US a center for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin-related fields. Under the leadership of the sole Commissioner Selig, the CFTC has filed lawsuits and amicus briefs against multiple states to defend its jurisdiction over prediction markets. The controversy centers on whether prediction market contracts related to sports and entertainment constitute gambling products and whether contracts offered by regulated Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) should fall under CFTC jurisdiction. New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed related lawsuits, Illinois has issued a cease-and-desist order, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a law last week imposing criminal penalties for operating prediction markets. Indonesia, Spain, and India have recently banned prediction market operations within their borders. An investigation into prediction markets by a US House committee was also confirmed last week.
