Event contracts and digital asset derivatives are emerging under CFTC oversight, while listed options and ETFs remain SEC-regulated. Meanwhile, some platforms are offering both. This panel will examine:
• The SEC and CFTC frameworks and their implications for innovation.
• Whether event contracts should be viewed as gaming, financial hedging, or a hybrid.
• How crypto-linked options and ETFs fit into the regulatory patchwork.
• What market participants need to prepare for as regulatory convergence (or conflict) plays out.
