PredictIt Faces Uncertain Future Amid CFTC Rule Proposal to Ban Election Wagering Markets
PredictIt, a pioneering online political futures market, is a powerful tool for understanding the outcome of elections. Users purchase shares based on the outcome of political events using real money. Several contracts are associated with each event, such as an election, each corresponding to a distinct result. Services like PredictIt can provide invaluable insight into the outcome of elections.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) voted 3-2 on May 10, 2024, to issue a rule proposal that could potentially prohibit election wagering markets, according to Reuters. The commission declared its intention to revoke PredictIt's no-action letter on August 4, 2022, with an effective date of February 2023. PredictIt announced on its website that it would cease trading on February 15, 2023, unless the CFTC's policy is altered. In March 2023, the CFTC overturned this decision, enabling the platform to operate legally.
