Trump: ‘Critically important’ CFTC has exclusive authority over prediction markets

Trump said prediction markets should thrive under federal oversight as states press gambling claims and the Trump administration sues to block new restrictions.

  • Trump said that prediction platforms will "thrive" under the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction and that states should be prohibited from creating separate rules for this industry.
  • Trump reiterated that the U.S. is the "Crypto Capital of the World" and his administration won't let other nations threaten America's leadership in the cryptocurrency market, calling it "a major industry" that "must be protected."
  • States have taken the position that prediction market contracts are actually gambling and should be supervised by state gaming regulators or banned entirely, while the CFTC has taken the position that all such contracts fall under its jurisdiction.
