The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Hockey League signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen coordination on professional hockey integrity and the growing market for sports event contracts tied to NHL games. The agreement sets up a formal structure for information sharing and consultation between the derivatives regulator and the league. It is intended to support confidence in NHL competition and to help regulators monitor trading activity connected to hockey-related event contracts listed on CFTC-regulated exchanges. The arrangement establishes designated points of contact for handling integrity concerns involving professional hockey and prediction-style markets connected to the sport. The partnership also responds to increased political and regulatory attention on sports prediction markets.
