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

ChainCatcher reported that CME Group CEO Terry Duffy called for a level playing field and opposed granting innovation exemptions to new market participants such as 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 a similar view: "I appreciate this kind of innovation, but if there is an opportunity for greater success, then we should all strive for it. We will all be excellent competitors and outstanding innovators. But we should not be trapped in old models."
