The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has challenged the Super Bowl event contracts launched by Crypto.com and the retail betting market Kalshi.
Robinhood had planned to introduce a prediction market for the Super Bowl on Kalshi but suspended the rollout after the CFTC requested that they refrain from allowing customers to access sports event contracts.
Robinhood expressed disappointment and mentioned plans to collaborate with the CFTC to introduce a more comprehensive event contracts platform later in the year.
The CFTC is also investigating two of Crypto.com's sports contracts, citing potential violations of commodity regulations.
