The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission has granted narrow no-action relief to four prediction market operators. Platforms must fully collateralize contracts and publish time-and-sales data to maintain eligibility amid a surge in prediction market activity. The relief is specific and mirrors treatment given to other designated markets.

The CFTC won’t pursue action against Polymarket US, LedgerX, PredictIt, and Gemini Titan for certain obligations. The relief doesn’t change existing law but signals regulators’ willingness to let prediction markets operate as they refine compliance systems. Platforms must fully collateralize all contracts and publish time-and-sales data for transparency.

Kalshi and Polymarket see billions in trading volume. Crypto firms like Crypto.com and Coinbase enter the prediction market space. While the CFTC’s relief offers temporary reprieve, platforms must prepare for full regulatory oversight with transparency and collateral integrity.

The SEC grants a rare no-action letter to the Depository Trust Company, allowing it to tokenize Treasuries, index ETFs, and assets tied to the Russell 1000. This marks a major step toward blockchain-based securities markets and reflects a broader shift in the SEC’s approach to blockchain infrastructure.
