Comment on CFTC-2026-0331, CFTC-2026-0331-0001, David, Rothschild

Summary: David M. Rothschild, a researcher at Microsoft Research, supports the creation of a distinct regulatory pathway for nonprofit research prediction markets to distinguish them from commercial markets. He argues that nonprofit markets are essential for experimentation, handle sensitive domains differently, and should be regulated based on incentive-compatible market design rather than event categories.
