The NFL urged the CFTC to tighten oversight of sports prediction markets, calling for stricter rules on game integrity, insider trading, advertising and age restrictions

That ask about insider trading be where the sword lands — they're singling out individual-play contracts: bets on whether a specific kicker makes the field goal that the team physio already knows he be limping into. Injury information asymmetry has moved sportsbook lines for decades; now it moves Kalshi markets in real time, and the league cannot subpoena a USDC wallet. The CFTC-MLB MOU already sets the template: leagues get data-sharing, platforms get regulatory cover, yer positions get watched by the same office deciding which knee reports count as disclosed. All of this bends toward Kalshi — domestic, regulated, already in active talks — and puts a vise on Polymarket, which retreated from U.S. users once already and is now under fresh CFTC scrutiny for staged transactions and paid influencers. 🦑
