[CFTC and NHL Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Strengthen Prediction Market Oversight] Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Hockey League (NHL) to strengthen oversight of prediction markets. The two parties will enhance information sharing and collaboration to maintain the fairness and integrity of professional hockey events and related event contract markets. This includes bolstering the existing event integrity monitoring system and improving the ability to identify, prevent, and respond to potential risks. As platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket continue to gain traction, especially following the 2024 U.S. election cycle, sports and event-based prediction markets are rapidly entering the mainstream financial and regulatory spotlight.
