CME Group Chairman Terry Duffy clashed with Kalshi executives during a CFTC committee meeting, according to Decrypt. The exchange centered on prediction markets, allegations of manipulation, and whether platforms like Kalshi meet the same regulatory standards as traditional futures exchanges.

Decrypt reported that Duffy traded barbs with Kalshi co-founder Luana Lopes Lara during the session. The Block, describing Duffy as CME's CEO, reported that he also sparred with Kalshi's COO and with the CFTC's Selig over how prediction market oversight should work.

The Block characterized the meeting as exposing a divide between traditional finance incumbents like CME and newer prediction market platforms such as Kalshi. Both outlets described the exchange as contentious, with disagreement over manipulation risks and the adequacy of existing oversight for prediction markets.
