CoinFeed reported on May 21 that, according to The Block, the CFTC and the National Hockey League (NHL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to share information and collaborate on oversight regarding "maintaining the integrity of contracts related to professional hockey." NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated that the agreement will strengthen the league's existing integrity monitoring system and enhance its ability to identify and mitigate potential risks. This move continues the trend of the CFTC collaborating with sports leagues; in March of this year, the CFTC signed a similar MoU with Major League Baseball (MLB).
