1038 ET - DraftKings is feeling more confident about prediction markets because the regulatory landscape is improving, Chief Executive Jason Robins says. The CFTC, which regulates prediction markets, has shifted from being hands-off to fully affirming that prediction markets are within its jurisdiction and should be defended in court as legal, Robins says. "Anything that creates a stable regulatory environment, that allows us to operate more freely, is a great upside thing for us," Robins says. DraftKings was staying on the sidelines through last summer, citing legal concerns, but launched a prediction markets product in December and plans to ramp up investments through 2026.
