CFTC Whistleblower Alert: Blow the Whistle on Fraud or Market Manipulation in the Carbon Markets: Carbon markets (“CMs”) support the transition to a low‐carbon economy through market‐based initiatives where carbon credits (a/k/a offsets) are purchased and sold either in an over‐the‐counter market or on spot exchanges.  Carbon credits are the underlying commodity for futures contracts that are listed on CFTC designated contract markets (DCMs).  The CFTC has enforcement authority and regulatory oversight over DCMs and any trading in those markets.  The CFTC also has anti‐fraud and anti‐manipulation enforcement authority over the related spot markets for carbon credits.  CFTC jurisdiction also applies to carbon allowances and other environmental commodities products that are linked to futures contracts.
