The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), under the sole leadership of Republican Michael Selig, announced a memorandum of understanding with the National Hockey League to "protect the integrity of professional hockey and maintain a fair and transparent forecasting market."

In a statement released Thursday, Selig said the move aims to protect prediction market users from "insider trading, fraud, and other abuses." The CFTC continues to claim "exclusive jurisdiction" over platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket.

The organization signed a similar agreement with Major League Baseball in March, at which time the league announced that Polymarket would become its official prediction market exchange.

The CFTC stated that the agreement with the NHL will allow both parties to "share information and collaborate on the platform to protect the fairness of contracts for professional hockey and related events." The NHL's 2026-27 season is scheduled to begin in September, but as of Thursday, Kalshi and Polymarket had already listed contracts for the Stanley Cup playoffs, which have been running since April.

Under Selig's leadership, as chairman of the CFTC and its sole commissioner, he repeatedly claimed that only the agency had the authority to oversee and regulate prediction markets. At the chairman's direction, the CFTC has initiated legal action against state authorities in Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, and New York regarding prediction market issues, and recently took action in Minnesota regarding what it calls a state's "first comprehensive ban" on these platforms.

The CFTC leadership was originally expected to be comprised of a bipartisan group of five commissioners, but Selig has been the sole member since December. Despite urging from lawmakers, as of Thursday, US President Donald Trump had not publicly announced any nominees to fill those seats.

Polymarket submitted an application to "list portfolio outcome contracts".

On Wednesday, Polymarket submitted a self-certification letter for its product to CFTC Secretary Christopher Kirkpatrick. According to the company, this move will allow Polymarket to merge two or more underlying event contracts on its platform.

Who decides on the liquidation when assets remain with the custodian bank and funds are lent out onto the blockchain?
After institutions hand over their collateral to qualified custodian organizations, they can still obtain funds from the on-chain lending market. This is the approach outlined by Chainlink on October 26th when introducing CustodySync. The official first-party partner is Anchorage Digital Bank, which, in conjunction with its Atlas collateral management product, integrates the custodial arrangements familiar to institutions into the liquidity of DeFi.

The unemployment rate in the eurozone remains at 6.5%, yet the number of unemployed has increased by 122,000.
The unemployment rate in the eurozone in September remained the same as in August, at 6.5%; however, the number of unemployed increased from 11.433 million to 11.555 million, an increase of 122,000 in just one month. These figures, released by the European Union Statistics Office on October 30th, present another side of the so-called "stable unemployment rate": while the ratio shown in the headlines remained unchanged, the number of people joining the ranks of the unemployed continued to rise.

Eurozone GDP growth slows month-on-month, but rises to 1.3% year-on-year
Within the same GDP table, the quarter-on-quarter growth rate in the eurozone dropped from 0.6% to 0.4% in the third quarter, while the year-on-year growth rate increased from 1.2% to 1.3%. If only one line of data is considered, the economic trend might seem to tell two opposite stories. According to the preliminary rapid estimates released by the European Union Statistics Office on October 30th, these two sets of figures need to be viewed together, and readers are advised to first distinguish between the time periods being compared.
