美国商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 起诉阻止罗德岛州执法，并持续努力维护管辖权
2026 年 5 月 28 日
华盛顿——商品期货交易委员会今天开始介入美国罗德岛州地区法院的一项诉讼，以阻止该州对 CFTC 注册的合约市场适用州赌博法的努力。
为了回应上周晚些时候由商品期货交易委员会注册的指定合约市场提出的投诉，该市场面临州即将实施非法执法的威胁，罗德岛州于周五在一个平行的州案件中提出了自己的投诉，寻求重大民事处罚。罗德岛州总检察长在一份声明中要求预测市场“停止”并“交出利润”。
CFTC 今天的行动重申了其继续致力于确认对 CFTC 注册的预测市场的专属管辖权。继亚利桑那州、康涅狄格州、伊利诺伊州、纽约州以及最近的明尼苏达州提起诉讼后，罗德岛州动议成为各州挑战 CFTC 管辖权的最新实例。
“在 CFTC 注册的交易所面临着一系列诉讼，这些诉讼旨在限制美国人获得活动合约，并破坏 CFTC 对预测市场的唯一监管管辖权。这种权力争夺无视法律和数十年的先例，”CFTC 主席迈克尔·S·塞利格 (Michael S. Selig) 表示。 “事件合约允许企业和个人对冲事件驱动的风险，使投资者能够管理投资组合风险，并向公众提供有关未来事件结果的信息。这些产品是商品衍生品，完全属于商品期货交易委员会的监管职权范围。正如我之前所说，商品期货交易委员会拥有专业知识和责任来捍卫其对商品衍生品的专属管辖权，而这正是我们要做的。”
CFTC 拥有明确且长期的排他性管辖权，可以根据《商品交易法》监管事件合约，该管辖权优先于旨在监管指定合约市场（通常称为预测市场）的州法律。 《商品交易法》旨在考虑金融市场的创新，允许在 CFTC 监管的市场中出现新的用例。

CFTC Sues to Block State Enforcement in Rhode Island Amid Ongoing Efforts to Preserve Jurisdiction | CFTC

CFTC Sues to Block State Enforcement in Rhode Island Amid Ongoing Efforts to Preserve Jurisdiction
May 28, 2026
WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission moved to intervene in a lawsuit today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island to halt the state’s efforts to apply state gambling laws against CFTC-registered contract markets.
In response to a complaint filed late last week by a CFTC-registered designated contract market threatened with impending unlawful enforcement by the state, Rhode Island filed a complaint of its own in a parallel state case on Friday seeking significant civil penalties. In a statement, Rhode Island’s attorney general demanded predictions market “stand down” and “disgorge their profits.”
The CFTC’s action today reiterates its continued commitment to affirming exclusive jurisdiction over CFTC-registered prediction markets. The Rhode Island motion becomes the latest instance of states challenging CFTC’s jurisdiction, following litigation in Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and most recently, Minnesota.
“CFTC-registered exchanges have faced an onslaught of lawsuits seeking to limit Americans’ access to event contracts and undermine the CFTC’s sole regulatory jurisdiction over prediction markets. This power grab ignores the law and decades of precedent,” said CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig. “Event contracts allow businesses and individuals to hedge event-driven risks, enable investors to manage portfolio exposure, and provide the public with information about the outcome of future events. These products are commodity derivatives and squarely within the CFTC’s regulatory remit. As I’ve said before, the CFTC has the expertise and responsibility to defend its exclusive jurisdiction over commodity derivatives, and that’s exactly what we’ll do.”
The CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate event contracts under the Commodity Exchange Act, which preempts state laws purporting to regulate designated contract markets, commonly referred to as prediction markets. The Commodity Exchange Act is designed to account for innovation in the financial markets, allowing for new and emerging use cases within CFTC-regulated markets.
