PredictionScout ranks Kalshi and FanDuel Predicts as top CFTC-regulated markets
PredictionScout published a comparison on Monday, May 19, 2026, identifying Kalshi and FanDuel Predicts as the largest CFTC-regulated prediction markets available to US residents. The article notes both platforms allow users to trade on event outcomes. Separately, TradingView published a story on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, identifying Kalshi as the leading CFTC-regulated prediction market in the United States. A Tech-insider.org review from May 2026 evaluated Kalshi's real-money trading experience, noting its CFTC DCM registration grants the strongest regulatory standing available to US platforms and assessing liquidity on flagship contracts including US political markets. MadMarket, a brokerage platform, published a comparison between itself and Kalshi on May 22, 2026, framing Kalshi as a regulated prediction market and MadMarket as a professional brokerage. Heygotrade.com reported that Kalshi won CFTC approval to list event contracts on political outcomes, helping prediction markets expand, while signaling that US regulators are scrutinizing the sector more closely.
PredictionScout's framing locks in Kalshi and FanDuel Predicts as the default comparison pair for CFTC-regulated platforms, forcing newer entrants like MadMarket to define themselves against that duopoly rather than set independent market positioning.
