CFTC Chairman Michael Selig is currently the lone sitting commissioner for an agency that traditionally features a bipartisan group of five. Selig has repeatedly defended both the legitimacy of prediction markets as financial assets and the role of the CFTC in overseeing them.

By combining trusted data with in-depth analysis, the hub will empower investors to make smarter, more strategic prediction market investments.”
