The Division of Market Oversight's Release Number 9302-26 said mention markets — contracts settling on whether a person says specific words, attends an event, or interacts with someone — present heightened manipulation risk and can only be listed in limited circumstances consistent with the Commodity Exchange Act.
“These contract types present a heightened risk of manipulation because their settlement turns on the discrete conduct of a person that may be neither independently generated nor externally verifiable”
