The amicus brief outlines the legal history of the CFTC’s exclusive jurisdiction
over all commodity derivatives markets, including prediction markets. Over the years,
courts and Congress have established and affirmed the CFTC’s role in regulating
these markets. States and other federal entities do not have the authority to further
regulate markets within the CFTC’s exclusive jurisdiction, and attempting to do so
would have destabilizing economic effects.
The CFTC first officially recognized event contracts in 1992 when it allowed the
Iowa Electronic Markets, a futures market at the University of Iowa in which traders
can buy and sell contracts pegged to events such as presidential elections and
corporate earnings. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Congress expressly
granted the CFTC comprehensive authority over any such contract based on a
commodity, which is broadly defined in statute. The Commodity Exchange Act is
designed to account for innovation in the financial markets, allowing for new and
emerging use cases within CFTC-regulated markets.
