NHL, CFTC Strike Integrity Memo on Prediction Markets

The NHL is getting ahead of the curve on prediction markets by signing an integrity memo with the U.S. derivatives regulator. That tells you the league is treating this like a real governance issue, not just another shiny new sportsbook-adjacent topic. The safeguards are the whole point here, because once trading and sports start overlapping, everyone from league lawyers to compliance people starts paying attention. The league wants the rules clear before the market gets any noisier.
