# MLB-CFTC Memorandum of Understanding
|
|
|
|
First memorandum of understanding between a professional sports league (Major League Baseball) and the CFTC, establishing framework for cooperation on prediction market integrity.
|
|
|
|
## Timeline
|
|
|
|
- **2026-03-19** — MLB and CFTC sign first-of-its-kind MOU creating framework for cooperation on prediction market integrity, insider trading monitoring, and information sharing
|
|
|
|
## Significance
|
|
|
|
The MLB-CFTC MOU represents the first formal integration of a professional sports league into CFTC prediction market oversight infrastructure. This creates a precedent for sports league involvement in market surveillance and insider trading enforcement that is structurally impossible for governance markets (no sports league equivalent exists for DAO governance).
|
|
|
|
The MOU signals CFTC's enforcement focus on sports contracts specifically, creating another layer of regulatory distinction between sports prediction markets and governance/decision markets.
