The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is intensifying its focus on insider trading within prediction markets, according to Enforcement Director David Miller. Speaking at a forum at New York University, Miller addressed misconceptions circulating on social and mainstream media that prediction markets are exempt from insider trading regulations. He clarified that event contracts in these markets are classified as swaps, not gambling, and are therefore subject to insider trading laws. The CFTC is prioritizing actions against those trading on misappropriated information or leaking confidential data.
