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).
