CFTC Restricts Mentions

The CFTC is most likely to treat mention-based contracts as a high-risk subset of event markets and write that presumption into its eligibility framework. The agency can argue these contracts are easier to manipulate because traders may influence media, social posts, or public references rather than merely forecast independent events.
