Baker McKenzie Partner Peter Chan recently joined the D.C. Bar’s Brief Encounters podcast to discuss the rise of prediction markets and the regulatory, compliance and investor protection issues shaping this evolving area.
As part of the podcast’s Securities Regulation and Enforcement Series, the conversation explored how prediction markets operate, the key considerations for in-house counsel and compliance professionals, and the rapidly developing legal framework shaping these platforms.
Drawing on his experience in securities regulation and enforcement, including his time as an assistant regional director at the SEC, Peter shared insights on the investor protection implications of prediction markets, regulatory developments at both the agency and congressional levels, and what financial services professionals should be watching as this market continues to grow.
