PANews, September 30 — According to The Block, the U.S. CFTC has submitted two regulatory proposals to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA): first, a proposed rule that would explicitly bring "event contracts" within the definition of "swap," which will next enter a public comment period; and second, an interim final rule that would exclude "casino-style gaming products" from the definition of "swap," which would take effect upon administrative approval. The move is seen as a response to rulings by the Sixth and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the Supreme Court has accepted three petitions related to the swap definition.
