The chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Mike Selig, stated, "Today, we are taking action to release clear guidelines for prediction markets to help trading platforms understand the CFTC's expectations for new contract listings. We are taking on the responsibility of ensuring that this asset class has transparent rules."

In an interview with CNBC, Mike Selig said, "Prediction markets are a rapidly evolving field, which is why we are taking action today to release some clear guidelines to assist our trading platforms. Our trading platforms will self-certify contracts and have their own rulebooks, and they need to clearly understand the CFTC's expectations. Therefore, we will publish these guidelines in clear written form for trading platforms to follow.

At the same time, we will also release a notice of proposed rulemaking later today. We intend to establish clear operating rules for this new asset class and new market. It is crucial to ensure that there is no manipulation, insider trading, or various abuses in the derivatives market. Therefore, we will take on the responsibility of ensuring that these new asset classes have clear operating rules."
