CFTC Issues Second Warning to Prediction Markets Over Sloppy Contract Filings

TLDR

• The CFTC has warned prediction markets firms for the second time this year about cutting corners on contract certifications.
• Companies like Kalshi, Coinbase, Polymarket and Crypto.com operate under CFTC oversight.
• Firms are submitting broad, template-style certifications instead of detailed individual filings.
• The CFTC’s role as primary regulator of prediction markets still faces legal uncertainty.
• Kraken’s Derivatives Exchange was granted an extension of its dormant regulatory status.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has issued a second warning this year to prediction markets operators, telling them to stop submitting overly broad contract certifications.
