马萨诸塞州监管机构在大学篮球预测市场中心探测罗比尼

据报道

Massachusetts’ securities regulator has reportedly launched a probe over Robinhood’s prediction markets offering that has allowed users to bet on the outcomes for a slew of events, including basketball tournaments.

据报道，马萨诸塞州的证券监管机构对Robinhood的预测市场发起了调查，该产品使用户能够押注包括篮球比赛在内的一系列活动的结果。

The state’s Secretary of State, Bill Galvin, said his office subpoenaed Robinhood last week to get information on its marketing materials and the number of Massachusetts-based users that traded sports events contracts on college basketball tournaments, according to a March 24 report by Reuters.

州立国务卿比尔·加尔文（Bill Galvin）表示，他的办公室在上周进行了传票，以获取有关其营销材料的信息以及马萨诸塞州的用户数量，这些用户的数量是在大学篮球比赛中交易体育赛事合同的信息，这是根据3月24日的24日报告。

The probe follows the CFTC’s request last month for Kalshi and Crypto.com to explain how both of their Super Bowl event contracts complied with derivatives regulations. Event contracts are agreements that enable users to wager on the outcome of essentially anything, such as sports games, elections and the price of cryptocurrencies. They were popularized on the blockchain-based prediction market Polymarket and non-decentralized competitor Kalshi and have drawn the attention of some regulators.

该调查遵循CFTC上个月对Kalshi和Crypto.com的要求，以解释他们的两项超级碗活动合同如何符合衍生品法规。事件合同是协议，使用户能够在本质上赌博的结果，例如体育游戏，选举和加密货币的价格。它们在基于区块链的预测市场多聚市场和非二次竞争者Kalshi上得到了普及，并引起了某些监管机构的注意。

The CFTC and Galvin’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

CFTC和Galvin的办公室没有立即回应置评请求。

The probe also seeks any internal communications about the decision to roll out the recent college basketball events contracts after the CFTC’s request to halt the Super Bowl contracts, the report noted.

报告指出，该调查还寻求任何内部沟通，以决定在CFTC要求停止超级碗合同的要求之后决定推出最近的大学篮球比赛合同。

The news comes as Robinhood scrapped event contracts allowing for bets on the Super Bowl a day after launching the products after the CFTC asked it to.

这个消息传来，因为罗比尼（Robinhood）报废的活动合同允许在CFTC要求使用产品后每天发射产品后每天在超级碗上进行赌注。

“We’re unable to comment on any pending legal matters,” a Robinhood spokesperson told Cointelegraph in response to a request for comment.

“我们无法对任何未决的法律事务发表评论，”罗比尼发言人告诉Cointelegraph，以回应置评请求。

The firm’s new prediction markets hub, which is being launched in partnership with Kalshi, will initially feature event contracts on college basketball tournaments and the May federal funds rate. The event contracts “are regulated by the CFTC and offered through CFTC-registered entities,” the spokesperson added.

该公司的新预测市场枢纽正在与Kalshi合作推出，最初将在大学篮球比赛和五月联邦资金利率上签订活动合同。发言人补充说，活动合同“由CFTC监管，并通过CFTC注册的实体提供。”

“Prediction markets have become increasingly relevant for retail and institutional investors alike, and we’re proud to be one of the first platforms to offer these products to retail customers in a safe and regulated manner.”

“预测市场与零售和机构投资者的关系变得越来越重要，我们很自豪能够成为最早以安全且受监管的方式为零售客户提供这些产品的平台之一。”

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) share price remained relatively flat after the close of trading on March 24 after an over 9% jump over the day to close at $48.36, according to Google Finance.

根据Google Finance的数据，3月24日交易结束后，Robinhood Markets（Hood）股价在一天中的交易结束后保持相对平坦。

The firm is up nearly 30% so far this year but has fallen from its Feb. 14 all-time peak of $65.28.

该公司今年到目前为止上涨了近30％，但已从2月14日的历史最高峰下降了65.28美元。
