The White House has initiated a review of the rule-making process for the CFTC prediction market in the U.S

According to The Block, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) under the Office of Management and Budget of the White House stated on its website on Tuesday that it has received the proposed rules for prediction markets submitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is currently under review. A CFTC spokesperson stated that more information will be released after the OIRA review is completed.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig has consistently argued that prediction markets fall under the "exclusive jurisdiction" of his agency and has filed lawsuits against five states, including Wisconsin, Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, and New York. Trump publicly supported Selig on Tuesday, stating that the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets is "critical."
