[The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Proposes Including Event Contracts Under Swap Regulation] Odaily Planet Daily News – The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued one rule and proposed another, aiming to further clarify that event contracts fall under the category of 'swaps,' thereby reinforcing Chairman Mike Selig's stance that prediction market trading should be independently regulated by the agency. This move comes as the CFTC is engaged in legal disputes with multiple states over regulatory authority, with several federal rulings in these disputes unfavorable to the CFTC. (CoinDesk)
