Citadel Securities calls on the U.S. SEC to regulate event contracts related to U.S. stocks.

BlockBeats news, September 10: Citadel Securities has submitted comments to U.S. regulators, calling for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to regulate event contracts related to U.S.-listed companies.

The market maker stated that trading platforms should not evade the SEC's regulatory jurisdiction by self-certifying with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The battle over regulatory authority for event contracts continues to heat up.

Currently, some U.S. prediction markets launch related contracts through the CFTC framework, and as event contracts increasingly cover financial assets such as stocks, the regulatory boundary between the SEC and the CFTC is becoming a focal point of market attention.
