Prediction Markets: Insights on Event Contracts, Regulation, Litigation and Market Growth

Prediction markets have evolved from a niche corner of the financial system into one of the fastest-growing and most closely watched sectors in the derivatives industry. As trading volumes surge, institutional investors, exchanges, brokerages and policymakers are all racing to understand what this growth means for market structure, regulation and risk. Katten's Financial Markets and Regulation team sits at the center of this rapidly developing space, having advised on the listing of the first sports event contracts on a federally regulated exchange, testified before Congress on customer protection and market integrity, and published in-depth analysis on the economic functions, opportunities and regulatory questions shaping this emerging asset class. This Resource Center brings together Katten's latest thought leadership, regulatory updates and practical insights to help clients and market participants stay ahead as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), courts and industry continue to define the future of prediction markets.
