The CFTC fined former White House staffer Gabriel Perez $172,000 for insider trading in event contracts using non-public information, signalling growing regulatory scrutiny over prediction and event markets tied to privileged data.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The CFTC is now treating event contracts as mainstream markets needing compliance controls. You must tighten your platform's surveillance to avoid insider trading enforcement and preserve market trust.
