CME Group CEO opposes granting innovation exemptions to Polymarket and Kalshi, calling for fair competition

ChainCatcher news, CME Group CEO Terry Duffy called for a fair competitive environment, opposing the granting of innovation waivers to new market participants Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and Kalshi co-founder Tarek Mansour. He stated that if the rules are different, established participants will not be able to compete.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (@CBOE) also expressed the same view: "I appreciate this innovation, but if there is an opportunity for greater success, we should all strive for it. We will all become excellent competitors and outstanding innovators. But we should not be trapped in old models."
