Crypto.com has drawn scrutiny from federal regulators over its new football futures trading contracts, including bets on the Super Bowl.

Football Futures Contracts

The contracts launched on a Chicago-based derivatives exchange allow users to bet on football outcomes without directly naming NFL teams. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is considering a 90-day review to determine their legality.

Market Response and Nationwide Reach

Crypto.com challenges traditional platforms by offering contracts nationwide, setting it apart from competitors operating in individual states. The platform lets users bet on events like the Super Bowl, drawing interest from both the market and regulators.

Regulatory Uncertainty

The CFTC's stance on event-based contracts remains unclear. The agency previously drafted rules to prohibit such contracts, but they were never finalized. Changes in leadership following the CFTC chairman's departure could influence the future direction.

The future of Crypto.com's sports betting contracts remains uncertain until the CFTC makes a final decision on their legality.
