📊 Gibraltar opens first prediction market regime

Gibraltar is set to launch what it describes as the world’s first dedicated regulatory regime for prediction markets, with oversight focused on platform integrity, user protection, market approval, AML controls and enforcement. The first firms under the framework are expected to be ADI Predictstreet and Wire Markets, according to Sportclan. 📜🔍 That matters for iGaming because Gibraltar is treating prediction markets as a distinct category, rather than regulating them purely as financial instruments as in the US. It could give operators and suppliers a clearer route to innovate, including around crypto payments, while keeping compliance front and centre. 🌍💡
