外媒评论认为,预测市场近年快速扩张,但它并不是脱离金融体系的新物种。文章称,这类市场本质上仍是事件合约交易,作用既包括风险对冲,也包括价格发现,因此不应被简单归入赌场或体育博彩监管。

Kalshi合约被用来对冲经营风险

文章举例称,加州北部一名牧羊人因州内一项工资豁免政策到期,面临用工成本大幅上升。他随后在 Kalshi 买入一份事件合约:如果州政府在 10 月 1 日前未修正规则,合约将支付 50 万美元;若规则被修正,他则承担 5 万美元成本。

按文章说法,这类工具过去更多由华尔街机构使用,如今小企业也能借此转移特定风险。作者认为,这正是衍生品市场的核心功能之一:把无法承受的经营风险转给愿意定价和承担风险的交易对手。

争议焦点在监管归属

文章称,美国《商品交易法》允许以商品、金融变量或现实事件作为衍生品标的,只要相关产品在联邦监管市场上市交易。作者据此认为,事件合约并非新发明,而是既有衍生品框架下的延伸。

围绕预测市场的争议,主要在于它与博彩产品在表面形式上存在相似之处。文章认为,真正决定监管方式的不是“看起来像下注”,而是交易场所和市场结构。预测市场作为交易所撮合平台,并不直接与用户对赌,价格由市场形成,交易者也可随时平仓,这与赌场或体育博彩的经营模式不同。

作者反对州级拆分监管

文章称,一些州正与赌场利益方站在同一阵线,试图以州级规则限制预测市场。作者认为,这种做法会把原本应统一适用的全国性金融市场,拆成按州分割的局部市场,不利于流动性和定价效率。

文章还提到,预测市场除交易功能外,还能提供实时信息。作者援引一份美联储报告称,Kalshi 市场可为经济走势提供较准确的即时信号,在部分利率方向判断上甚至优于联邦基金期货。

整体来看,这篇评论的核心观点是,预测市场应被视为联邦监管下的金融衍生品市场,而不是由各州按博彩逻辑分别处理的产品。作者认为,如果监管口径继续向州级博彩框架倾斜,这类市场的风险管理和价格发现功能都可能受到限制。
