美国商品期货交易委员会起诉犹他州：指其以州法关停注册合约市场 干预联邦专属管辖
美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）10月27日宣布，已提起诉讼，要求阻止犹他州以州法关停在 CFTC 注册的合约市场。此前，犹他州在州法院对受 CFTC 监管的市场及其他企业提起民事执法行动；CFTC 认为，州方此举妨碍了国会以联邦法优先于州法的决定。
CFTC 主席 Michael S. Selig 表示，犹他州试图在众多领域关停预测市场；事件合约不仅具有对冲与投资功能，也向公众提供有关未来事件结果的信息。他说，国会已将监管这些市场的专属职责授予 CFTC，委员会拥有捍卫其对商品衍生品专属管辖权的专业能力与责任，并将付诸行动。
CFTC 表示，此次诉讼体现委员会维护其对注册预测市场专属管辖的立场：任何州若挑战衍生品交易所的合法运营，委员会都将维护联邦权益。CFTC 另已对其他九个州启动法律程序，并已在四家联邦上诉法院与一家州最高法院提交法律文书。
预测市场允许交易者就未来事件结果买卖事件合约，近年来在美国快速扩张，联邦监管与各州法律之间的管辖争议随之持续发酵。

CFTC Sues Utah to Block State Enforcement Against Registered Contract Markets, Citing Federal Preemption
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced on October 27 that it has filed a lawsuit against Utah to block the state's efforts to shut down CFTC-registered contract markets using state laws. The suit follows Utah's decision to file civil enforcement actions in state court against CFTC-regulated markets and other businesses; the CFTC says the state's effort obstructs Congress's decision to federally preempt state law in this area.
CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig said Utah seeks to shut down prediction markets across a wide variety of markets, and that event contracts serve hedging and investment purposes while also providing the public with information about the outcomes of future events. He said Congress entrusted the CFTC as the federal regulator with sole responsibility for overseeing these markets, and that the agency has the expertise and responsibility to defend its exclusive jurisdiction over commodity derivatives.
The Commission said the action reflects its firm commitment to maintaining exclusive jurisdiction over CFTC-registered prediction markets, and that it will protect federal interests when a state challenges the lawful operation of a derivatives exchange. The CFTC has also initiated legal proceedings against nine other states and has submitted briefs in four federal courts of appeal and one state supreme court.
Prediction markets, which let traders buy and sell event contracts on the outcomes of future events, have expanded rapidly in the United States, fueling an ongoing jurisdictional dispute between federal regulators and the states.
