Sporttrade
State-licensed sports betting exchange that closed its sportsbooks to pursue a single CFTC registration.
Regulatory posture
- Dual DCM and DCO application filed January 27, 2026 is still under CFTC review; the tracker records no designation.
- Shut sportsbook operations in New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia in May 2026 and surrendered that state-by-state footprint before knowing the federal outcome.
- Had engaged the CFTC on the merits earlier than most applicants, submitting a public comment on sports event contracts in April 2025.
- Carries execution risk rather than enforcement risk: with no state licences left operating and no federal designation yet, it has no live US venue.
