Bitnomial has received a no-action letter from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission allowing it to launch prediction market contracts for U.S. customers.
The approval permits contracts referencing digital assets, economic indicators and broader financial outcomes.
The U.S.-based derivatives exchange said the new service will focus on forecasting cryptocurrency price movements and macroeconomic trends.
Bitnomial’s prediction contracts will be cleared through Bitnomial Clearinghouse, LLC, which is registered with the regulator.
The CFTC decision follows similar regulatory assurances previously granted to DraftKings, Gemini, Polymarket, PredictIt and LedgerX.
Participants will gain exposure to outcomes ranging from token price movements to macroeconomic indicators, with full integration across Bitnomial's product suite enabling traders to more specifically offset risk.
The company said.
The move builds on Bitnomial’s earlier milestone in December, when it became the first regulated firm to offer leveraged spot crypto transactions.
The latest approval was issued under CFTC Chairman Mike Selig, although it remains a non-binding, staff-level assurance.
