PANews May 4 news, according to Reuters reports, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed the review of the first batch of prediction market ETFs, causing the listing of more than 24 related products originally scheduled for this week to be postponed. It is reported that institutions like Roundhill Investments and Bitwise had previously submitted multiple prediction market ETF applications, which are mainly linked to real events such as election results and economic data, aiming to provide investors with event-driven investment tools.

PANews May 4 news, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has concluded the public comment period for the proposed regulations related to prediction markets, collecting over 1,500 public feedback submissions, with discussions on industry regulation continuing to heat up. Among them, mainstream platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi clearly support the regulatory framework, believing that federal-level unified regulation will help promote compliance and standardized development in the industry. Meanwhile, some market participants and state gambling regulators are calling for stricter regulatory and enforcement measures to prevent potential risks such as insider trading and illegal gambling. The results of this large-scale public comment collection reflect significant disagreements within the industry on key issues such as defining compliance boundaries, product attribute classifications, and the positioning of regulatory powers and responsibilities. The subsequent formal formulation and implementation of rules may become a core variable determining the future development direction of prediction markets.
