Read comment → - Apr 30, 2026ICE, Inc.SupportBusiness📎 Attachment
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) supports the Commission's goal of promoting responsible innovation in prediction markets but argues that the existing regulatory framework is sufficient.

Read comment → - Apr 30, 2026American Gaming Association (AGA)SupportTrade association📎 Attachment
The American Gaming Association (AGA) supports the proposed rulemaking to maintain prohibitions on sports event contracts, arguing that these products function as sports wagering and should remain under state and tribal regulation. They express concern that allowing prediction markets to offer these contracts bypasses established consumer protections, AML protocols, and state sovereignty.
Read comment → - Apr 30, 2026Sports Fans CoalitionSupportAdvocacy📎 Attachment
