Why now
Thesis: Margin on event contracts deepens institutional participation
Catalyst to watch: CFTC ruling on margin request
Main risk: Leverage and regulatory crackdown
Why it matters
Margin trading on event contracts would deepen institutional participation but raises leverage and regulatory risk.
Details
