CFTC 寻求禁止亚利桑那州对预测市场进行刑事和民事执法
2026 年 4 月 9 日
华盛顿——周三，商品期货交易委员会向美国亚利桑那州地方法院提出动议，要求法院发布初步禁令和临时限制令，阻止亚利桑那州对 CFTC 监管的预测市场适用州刑事和赌博法。这项动议是在上周向司法部提起诉讼的基础上提出的，该诉讼质疑亚利桑那州的先发制人行为。
“亚利桑那州决定将先发制人的州刑法武器化，针对遵守全面联邦制度的公司，这开创了危险的先例，”主席迈克尔·S·塞利格(Michael S. Selig)说。 “CFTC 致力于大力捍卫其对预测市场的专属权威。我们要求法院发出明确的信息，即恐吓不是规避联邦法律的可接受的策略。”
CFTC 已对亚利桑那州、康涅狄格州和伊利诺伊州提起诉讼，寻求联邦法律授予 CFTC 监管活动合同的专属权力的宣告性判决，并请求永久禁令，防止各州对其注册人执行先发制人的州法律。除了亚利桑那州提起刑事指控外，这三个州还分别向 CFTC 监管的实体发出了停止函。 CFTC 在《商品交易法》下拥有明确且长期的专属管辖权来监管事件合约，该管辖权优先于旨在监管预测市场的州法律。

CFTC Seeks to Enjoin Arizona Criminal and Civil Enforcement Against Prediction Markets
April 09, 2026
WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a motion Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona asking the court for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order that would halt Arizona’s efforts to apply state criminal and gambling laws against CFTC-regulated prediction markets. This motion builds on last week’s filing, with the Department of Justice, of a lawsuit challenging Arizona’s preempted conduct.
“Arizona’s decision to weaponize preempted state criminal law against companies that comply with a comprehensive federal regime sets a dangerous precedent,” said Chairman Michael S. Selig. “The CFTC is committed to vigorously defending its exclusive authority over prediction markets. We are asking the court to send a clear message that intimidation is not an acceptable tactic to circumvent federal law.”
The CFTC has filed complaints against Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, seeking declaratory judgments that federal law grants the CFTC exclusive authority to regulate event contracts and requesting permanent injunctions preventing the states from enforcing preempted state laws against its registrants. In addition to Arizona pursuing criminal charges, each of the three states had sent cease and desist letters to CFTC-regulated entities. The CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate event contracts under the Commodity Exchange Act, which preempts state laws purporting to regulate prediction markets.
