# MLB-CFTC Memorandum of Understanding
|
|
|
|
The first memorandum of understanding between a professional sports league and the CFTC, establishing a framework for cooperation on prediction market integrity.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Signed March 19, 2026, the MLB-CFTC MOU creates institutional infrastructure for prediction market oversight by integrating sports league monitoring into CFTC regulatory supervision.
|
|
|
|
## Significance
|
|
|
|
The MOU represents a qualitative shift in prediction market regulation: sports leagues becoming integrated into prediction market oversight creates another layer of distinction from governance markets, where no sports league integration is possible or necessary.
|
|
|
|
This institutional integration strengthens the sports-betting functional equivalence argument (prediction markets on sports look like sports betting) while simultaneously highlighting how governance markets differ structurally (no league counterparty, no external event authority).
