[CFTC Chairman: Jurisdiction Disputes Over Prediction Markets Will Be Taken to the Supreme Court If Necessary; Crypto Exchanges Can Voluntarily Join New Regulatory Framework] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Michael Selig, Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated in an interview with CNBC that the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction over event trading contracts and will take related lawsuits to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. He also stated that the CFTC will prevent states from suing CFTC-regulated exchanges for unlicensed gambling. Regarding the proposed cryptocurrency regulatory framework, Selig stated that several major cryptocurrency exchanges have already registered with the CFTC for offering derivatives such as perpetual contracts, and the new regulations will allow them to add spot trading to their platforms. Furthermore, some new entrants to the market have also sought to register with the CFTC to avoid applying for licenses in each of the 50 U.S. states individually. For exchanges that do not currently offer margin, leverage, or financing trading, the framework will operate on a voluntary membership basis. (CNBC)
