Regulation and Development of Event and Prediction Markets

An L&C Division Webinar

15 January 2026 • 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM ET

Presenters will first identify what event markets and prediction markets are, as well as the commonalities and the differences between the two. Next, the discussion will focus on CFTC’s regulatory authority over these markets, what constitutes (or does not) gambling and betting, and how these markets have been developing in the past several years. Finally, presenters will survey recent litigation involving the States and attempt to predict what this industry will likely look like in a few years given legal, political, market and technological developments.
