The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Hockey League have signed a memorandum of understanding to protect the integrity of professional hockey and related event contracts offered on CFTC-regulated exchanges. The arrangement is intended to support fair and transparent prediction markets by formalising information sharing and coordination between the regulator and the league. Under the MOU, both sides have designated representatives to communicate regularly on integrity issues, share information confidentially, and keep open lines of communication. The NHL said it has also implemented layered protections to monitor these markets with its partners, while the agreement is intended to help protect prediction market participants from insider trading, fraud, and other abuses.
