It said that the proposal marks the first bipartisan Senate effort to directly address prediction markets.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Senate Targets Sports Contracts On Prediction Platforms</h2>The report said lawmakers backing the bill argue that sports-related contracts on federally regulated platforms resemble traditional betting products while operating outside state-level gambling frameworks.“The CFTC is greenlighting these markets and even promoting their growth,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) stated. “It’s time for Congress to step in and eliminate this backdoor, which violates state consumer protections, intrudes upon tribal sovereignty, and offers no public revenue.”The bill also extended beyond sports, seeking to prohibit “casino-style games” such as slot machines, blackjack, video poker, and bingo from being offered through these platforms, the report said.Sen. John Curtis (R-UT), who co-sponsored the bill, framed the issue around consumer exposure. “Too many young people in Utah are getting exposed to addictive sports betting and casino-style gaming contracts that belong under state control, not under federal regulators,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crypto Exchanges Accelerate Push Into Prediction Markets</h2>Both Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) have prediction markets and allow for sports betting on their platforms via partnerships with Kalshi. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has been pushing for Coinbase to become an “everything exchange” and recently&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/coinbase-reportedly-plans-prediction-markets-launch-with-kalshi/cLICp6DRE89">announced</a> USDC-funded trade on prediction markets in partnership with Kalshi.

Coinbase and Robinhood are the only two listed companies operating prediction markets in partnership with Kalshi, but others have also expanded into the space.&nbsp;Gemini (GEMI), backed by the Winklevoss twins,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/gemini-beats-coinbase-to-market-as-prediction-markets/cLe7wveREoy">introduced</a> ‘Gemini Predictions’ in December 2025 for betting on sports events.

The actual demonstration of insider trading is too difficult to be sufficient to address the problem. The problem becomes both real corruption … and the appearance of corruption and conflict of interest,” Merkley said during the interview.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Venezuela Bet That Made Merkley Suspicious</h2>Merkley stated that he first became concerned about prediction markets after a bettor on Polymarket won more than $400,000 by accurately predicting that the U.S. would remove Maduro.“That was a case where you had the secretary of state saying ‘we didn’t notify Congress the way we’re supposed to under the law because we were too concerned about a leak,’” Merkley said during the interview.He added that it was “extraordinarily likely” that somebody in the group of people who knew about the U.S. action leaked the information to a bettor on the prediction platform.“This legislation strengthens the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s ability to go after bad actors and provides rules of the road to prevent those with confidential government or policy information from exploiting their access for financial gain,” Sen. Klobuchar said in a statement to CNBC.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Soaring Popularity Of Prediction Markets</h2>According to an&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/upshot/prediction-markets-iran-strikes.html">analysis</a> by The New York Times, a day before the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran Saturday last week, more than 150 accounts placed bets of at least $1,000 on Polymarket, accurately predicting attacks on the Middle Eastern country.The analysis also showed that at least 16 accounts profited by more than $100,000 each, while at least 109 accounts made more than $10,000.One user reportedly took home nearly half a million dollars after placing bets worth over $60,000.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Israeli Army Reservists Arrested Over Suspicion Of Using Classified Information</h2>Earlier in February, the Israeli authorities arrested several army reservists and a civilian over suspicion of using classified information to place bets on an online prediction platform.Israeli authorities said that the charges came after an investigation into suspected gambling “based on classified information to which the reservists were exposed by virtue of their role in the army,” according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/world/middleeast/israel-army-reservists-classified-information-bets.html">report</a> by The New York Times.Meanwhile, U.S. equities declined in Thursday’s pre-market trade.

Will US Strike Iran Anytime Soon Given Trump's 10-Day Window For More Clarity? Here's What Bettors Think Amid The Military Build-Up In Middle East

The U.S. military has reportedly deployed a vast array of forces in the Middle East, comprising fighter jets, refueling tankers, and two aircraft carriers.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>In an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, Michael Selig stated that event contracts qualify as “swaps” under the Commodity Exchange Act and are subject to federal oversight.</li><li>According to him, there are currently nearly 50 state cases arguing that event contracts constitute gambling and fall under state law.</li><li>Selig said the agency will defend federally registered exchanges, including Polymarket, Kalshi, and Coinbase, against such state-level litigation.</li></ul>Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig said the agency will “no longer sit idly by” while state governments pursue litigation against federally registered exchanges, including Polymarket, Kalshi, and Coinbase (COIN).The CFTC is starting out with a “friend-of-the-court” filing on Tuesday in support of Crypto.com in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to an opinion piece&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/states-encroach-on-prediction-markets-6eb43af9">written</a> for The Wall Street Journal.“The most common allegation is that these contracts are a form of gambling and therefore subject to state laws,” Selig wrote, noting that nearly 50 state-level cases are currently pending against CFTC-registered exchanges.&nbsp;<blockquote>“The CFTC will no longer sit idly by while overzealous state governments undermine the agency’s exclusive jurisdiction over these markets by seeking to establish statewide prohibitions on these exciting products.”&nbsp;Michael Selig, Chairman, Commodity Futures Trading Commission&nbsp;</blockquote><h2 class="st-heading-2">The Legal Battle Over Prediction Markets</h2>Selig maintained that event contracts serve legitimate economic purposes. According to him, they allow businesses and individuals to hedge risks tied to specific developments, help investors manage exposure, and generate market-based signals about future outcomes.“Farmers can manage risk related to temperature changes that may affect crops, and small-business owners can hedge against tax increases or energy-price spikes, to name two examples,” he wrote.He added that exchanges like Coinbase aren’t the “Wild West,” but self-regulatory organizations that are examined and supervised by experienced CFTC staff. Under the Commodity Exchange Act, Selig argued, event contracts qualify as “swaps.”&nbsp;Selig noted that futures, swaps, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were once new products, but Congress granted the CFTC broad authority to oversee derivatives markets. Just because something is new doesn’t mean courts can reinterpret the law, he wrote.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crypto Moves In Washington</h2>Selig’s move comes amid stalled negotiations in Washington over the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act). The Senate Agriculture Committee, which oversees matters tied to the CFTC’s jurisdiction, advanced its portion of the bill in January.
