美国预测市场监管争议继续扩大。9 名民主党参议员本周致信美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)主席 Michael Selig,要求禁止与野火相关的事件合约,称这类产品可能带来公共安全风险。

参议员称野火合约可能诱发犯罪

议员在信中表示,允许用户围绕野火结果下注,可能形成错误激励。一方面,相关合约可能让部分人试图从自然灾害中获利;另一方面,也可能增加纵火和内幕交易风险。

他们提到,州和地方消防官员曾警告,这类市场可能诱使个别人通过纵火影响结果,或利用火情信息优势进行交易。议员称,这会淡化受灾社区的损失,并把灾害变成投机对象。

点名 Polymarket 等平台

议员在信中援引报道称,Polymarket 在 2025 年曾接受与加州 Palisades 和 Eaton 火灾相关的押注,金额超过 120 万美元。他们还提到,近来又有新平台提供类似产品,说明这类市场并非个别现象。

  • 涉及议员共 9 人
  • 被点名平台包括 Polymarket
  • 信中提及相关押注金额超 120 万美元

议员认为,即便部分合约目前主要出现在离岸平台,未来也可能有美国本土指定合约市场尝试推出类似产品。因此,他们要求 CFTC 在下一轮野火季到来前采取行动。

预测市场审查继续扩大

预测市场允许用户围绕未来事件买卖合约,近年交易范围已从加密资产价格扩展到政治和地缘事件。随着交易量增长,这一行业正面临更密集的法律和政治审查。

今年 5 月,明尼苏达州成为首个禁止预测市场的州,随后 CFTC 与美国司法部起诉该州,称州法与联邦权限冲突。6 月,肯塔基州又起诉 Kalshi 和 Polymarket,指控其以预测市场名义经营非法体育博彩。

此外,美国密歇根州一名联邦法官在 6 月裁定,体育类预测市场并不由 CFTC 监管。这一判决进一步加大了行业监管归属的不确定性,也让联邦与州层面的权限之争持续升温。
