ProphetX has relaunched its CFTC-regulated sports prediction exchange nationwide. Meanwhile, Novig has received designated contract market approval through Ludlow Exchange and says it expects to roll out this summer.
That means more federally regulated sports prediction products are moving toward broad U.S. access, including Florida’s prediction market.
This corner of the market is evolving fast. These developments make that clear. ProphetX returned just five days after final approvals. Novig is positioning its own launch as the next major step in the expansion of sports-focused prediction markets.

ProphetX Moves Fast After Approval
According to the report, ProphetX relaunched on the day of Novig’s approval announcement. The company’s exchange is described as available in 49 states, with its availability map excluding Nevada.
ProphetX’s relaunch includes baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, combat sports, and WNBA markets. The platform is also promoting commission-free parlays. However, its help center describes a 2% fee on net winnings.
The speed of the relaunch stands out. The report says ProphetX went live five days after receiving final exchange approvals. This is the fastest approval-to-launch timeline in the current CFTC prediction market era.
Dean Sisun, ProphetX’s CEO and Founder, said the company is bringing “institutional-grade trading protocols” to sports markets through its central limit order book and parlay request-for-quotation system.
Novig Lines Up a Summer Rollout
Novig’s approval came through Ludlow Exchange, an entity tied to the company. The report says the process took less than five months from application to approval. Novig says the regulated platform will operate across all 50 states and keep a 21+ age requirement.
That age threshold stands out. The report says most CFTC-regulated prediction market platforms allow users 18 and older.
Novig also said it has surpassed $5 billion in cumulative volume and previously reported $4 billion in annualized platform volume in February.
Novig CEO Jacob Fortinsky said federal oversight gives the company a framework built on “trust, transparency, and fairness.”
CTO Kelechi Ukah said the approval adds a regulated layer to the company’s existing infrastructure. He said that should compress the launch timeline to weeks.
What Florida Bettors Should Know
This is not a Florida-specific regulatory change, but it could still matter to Florida adults tracking online gambling and prediction markets. Both companies are framing their products around nationwide access under federal regulation rather than a state-by-state sportsbook model.
These exchanges may look familiar because they offer sports event markets and parlays, but they are being presented under a different regulatory framework than traditional sportsbooks.
Other CFTC Applicants Still Waiting in the Pipeline
The broader picture is still unsettled. Other sports-related applicants, including Sporttrade and RSBIX, remain pending before the CFTC.
The report also says Onyx Odds has applied for introducing broker registration. Besides, Rebet appeared in the National Futures Association database with a pending futures commission merchant application.
For Florida bettors, the next things to watch are Novig’s expected summer rollout, any changes to ProphetX’s state map, and the response from regulators, tribes, or gaming groups to these federally regulated sports event contracts.
