According to The Information, Michael Selig, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced that the agency is pushing to limit state interventions in prediction markets to prevent state-level regulatory measures from hindering or even stifling the industry's development.
Reports indicate that Michael Selig is a sports fan himself and has a large number of sports memorabilia in his office, which is seen as a reflection of his long-term interest in sports prediction markets. Since taking office several months ago, he has quickly begun related work, attempting to create a more relaxed federal regulatory environment for prediction markets, allowing more American users to participate in prediction trading for sports events and other outcomes.
