期貨和衍生品行業監管動態
美國商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC)發布了一項規則草案的制定通知,進一
步明確了屬于《美國商品交易法》(CEA)第 5c(c)(5)(C)條范圍內并且違反了公
共利益的事件合約類型。CFTC 最近注意到,在 CFTC 注冊交易所上市交易的事
件合約的數量和種類有所增加。此外,CFTC 最近還收到了一些實體的交易所注
冊申請和注冊意向,均表示其興趣上市交易事件合約。
鑒于這些發展,CFTC 建議修改 CFTC 聯邦法規 40.11,進一步明確屬于 CEA
第 5c(c)(5)(C)條范圍內并違反公共利益的事件合約類型。該草案包括確定涉及
CEA 第 5c(c)(5)(C)條中列舉的活動(賭博、戰爭、恐怖主義、暗殺以及違反任何
聯邦或州法律的活動)的事件合約違反公共利益,因此不得在 CFTC 注冊實體上
市交易或接受清算。
此外,該草案詳細定義了“賭博”,并列舉了一些例子,包括以有價值的東
西在政治競選、有獎競賽、一個或多個運動員參加的比賽中或就與此類比賽或游
戲相關的事件發生或不發生作為賭注。因此,根據該草案,涉及這些示例的事件
合約將不得被上市交易或接受清算。
