U.S. CFTC predicts a split in public comments on regulation of prediction markets: Polymarket and Kalshi support it, while some agencies call for tighter oversight

Odaily Planet Daily News reports that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) received over 1,500 public comments on proposed rules related to prediction markets, indicating that regulatory discussions in this area are continuing to heat up. It is understood that this public consultation reflects significant disagreements over the compliance boundaries, product attributes, and regulatory positioning of prediction markets, and subsequent rulemaking could become a key variable in the industry’s development. Among them, platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi expressed support for the regulatory framework, believing it will help standardize the industry; however, some participants also called for stricter regulation and enforcement measures to prevent potential risks.
