CFTC Unveils Future-Proof Initiative to Redesign Rules for Crypto and Prediction Markets
On 21 January 2026, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced the "Future-Proof" initiative to modernize its rulebook for digital assets and prediction markets. The program seeks to replace enforcement-led oversight with clearer, purpose-built regulations tailored to 24/7, technology-driven trading. CFTC Chair Mike Selig said the effort aims to address gaps in a framework built for agricultural futures as the agency prepares for a larger role under the proposed CLARITY Act.
