CFTC issues interim rule and 30-day proposal to treat event contracts as swaps
The move targets sports, politics, cultural, and weather markets as state lawsuits push the dispute toward the Supreme Court.
Reviews and walkthroughs of major prediction-market platforms: Polymarket, Kalshi, Manifold, and more.

A disputed Polymarket resolution triggers a bonded challenge, a 24–48h evidence window, and can end in a ~48h UMA vote that finalizes settlement.

Kalshi markets price Yes/No contracts from $0.01 to $0.99 and settle at $1 or $0, so your entry price is your max loss per contract.

Polymarket US is a CFTC-regulated designated contract market run by QCX LLC, while international trading is gated by IP-based geoblocking at order time.

Polymarket pays out in Polygon USDC, so cashing out means redeeming to USDC, sending it to a Polygon-ready off-ramp, then withdrawing fiat.

Kalshi is broadly available with USD rails and a wider market board, while Polymarket U.S. is invite-only and can be cheaper for takers if you can access it.
