- Guide sets out United States insider trading rules for prediction markets, with the CFTC treating event contracts as swaps under Rule 180.1, GlobalTradingOutlook reports — GlobalTradingOutlook says United States insider trading and manipulation law reaches prediction markets because the CFTC treats event contracts as swaps, and section 6(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC Rule 180.1 forbid fraud and manipulation in connection with any swap. It says CFTC-registered exchanges must also police their own markets, and that the CFTC brought its first such cases in 2026. (GlobalTradingOutlook)
