Fusion42 · 9 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

Blockchain.com has applied to the US CFTC for licenses to operate prediction markets and crypto derivatives trading, seeking to run a futures exchange and brokerage for these products in the US. This move comes amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets and efforts by CFTC Chair Michael Selig to advance crypto regulation following the FTX collapse.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 3 sources have reported it between 9 Oct 2026 and 10 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for a new US regulatory environment where crypto firms like Blockchain.com are formalising prediction markets under CFTC oversight. This could redefine market access and compliance costs for any crypto derivatives startup targeting US retail or institutional investors.
