The US CFTC issued no-action letters to four prediction markets, including Polymarket, regarding data rules issues.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Thursday issued no-action letters to the operators of prediction market platforms Polymarket, PredictIt, Gemini, and LedgerX/MIAX, announcing that these companies are exempt from certain record-keeping requirements as long as they meet other specific requirements, and that they may clear contracts through third-party clearing members. In a press release, the CFTC stated that the no-action letters mean that the regulator will not take any enforcement action (i.e., will not bring lawsuits against these companies for violations) regarding their compliance with "certain record-keeping requirements related to swap transactions and failure to report data related to binary options transactions to swap data repositories." The CFTC stated, "No-action letters apply only to specific circumstances and are similar to no-action letters issued to designated contract markets and derivatives clearing organizations in other similar situations." Under the no-action letters, issuers must: ensure their contracts are adequately collateralized at all times; clear contracts only through their designated platforms; publish all relevant data on their platforms after contract execution; and comply with other specific swap transaction record-keeping requirements.
