The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has a long history of involvement with prediction markets, dating back to 1992 when it granted the Iowa Electronic Market no-action relief to host political event contracts. This early engagement was followed by a significant development in 2004, when the CFTC approved the first designated contract market (DCM) to list binary options, specifically for the North American Derivatives Exchange, Inc. These actions underscore the CFTC's longstanding role in facilitating prediction markets.
