April 12, 2026L’Express spoke with partner Hubert de Vauplane about the regulatory challenges and potential pathways for prediction markets to develop in Europe.
The article examines increasing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets across Europe and the debate over whether they should be treated as gambling products or financial instruments. Hubert explained that structuring these offerings within a financial regulatory framework may improve their viability, particularly if they reduce the element of financial loss associated with traditional betting models. “The AMF would be more comfortable with this than with a derivative or a cryptoasset,” he said, underscoring the importance of regulatory classification in shaping the market’s future.
