💥 Historic upset in the US: Trump gets absolute control over crypto regulators #SEC and #CFTC !

The US Supreme Court has just made a sensational decision (6–3), which overturned a century-old precedent. Now the president can fire commissioners of independent agencies with one click - simply at his own request, without any good reason. Trump has already called this "the biggest increase in presidential power in 100 years".

❓ What is crypto here and why is it "hot"?

➡️ Complete control over the SEC and CFTC: Previously, these agencies were considered independent of the White House. Now Trump can single-handedly decide who will manage the digital asset market. The SEC currently has 3 Republicans and 0 Democrats.
➡️ Clarity Act under threat: The main law on the legalization of crypto in the US is on the verge of collapse. Senate Democrats demanded bipartisan control over regulators as a condition for a vote. Now this condition has lost its meaning - even if Trump appoints a Democrat, he can fire him the next day.
➡️ Time is running out: Republicans want to push through a vote on the Clarity Act next month, despite protests. The deadline is early August (then the election race will begin).
➡️ Ethical impasse: Democrats also demand that the law restrict Trump's own crypto business, which he is unlikely to do.
➡️ Irony of the day: the lawsuit that gave Trump this superpower was financed by the fired commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and her husband, the vice president of crypto giant Paradigm. They wanted to prove the illegality of the dismissal, but instead opened Pandora's box for the entire market.

🧐 July in the Senate will be as hot as possible. We are watching.

US CFTC launches broad investigation into Polymarket, probing misleading trading promotion and illegal customer acquisition

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is conducting an extensive investigation into prediction market platform Polymarket, with the scope now extending to business segments such as its social media activities.

Earlier reports by the media disclosed that Polymarket had hired dozens of social media creators, mostly university-aged, to attract users by filming videos of purportedly false trades. The move drew attention from regulators and prompted an investigation.

In fact, Polymarket and regulators have had a long-running “feud.” Although the company reached a settlement with the CFTC in 2022 and, from a technical standpoint, banned U.S. users from using the main platform, some users have still managed to bypass the ban via VPNs.

Moreover, Polymarket has continued to proactively push forward a compliance framework, attempting to restart its U.S. domestic market business. It has actively engaged in communications with the CFTC, seeking to have the ban on U.S. users lifted and to re-establish domestic trading operations.

However, last Thursday, two senators jointly sent a letter to the CFTC urging it to initiate an investigation into Polymarket’s advertising practices, and asking whether, since its 2022 actions, the agency has taken measures to prevent Polymarket from improperly soliciting and attracting U.S. users.

Taken together, these developments suggest that while Polymarket seeks access to the U.S. market, it is facing dual scrutiny from both regulators and lawmakers. Its subsequent compliance process in the U.S. market is therefore likely to face significant uncertainty.

Two-Senator Duel: Polymarket’s Fake-Profit Ads Exposed, CFTC Asked to Investigate

The Wall Street Journal uncovers shocking details! Polymarket paid influencers on X to post videos claiming “fake profits.” In 118 ads, it showed winnings of nearly $900,000, but actual betting would result in a loss of $166,000. The influencer can earn up to $3,000 per month, and is not allowed to say they are advertising. Now two bipartisan senators have sent a letter asking the CFTC to respond by 7/10, questioning whether it is investigating and whether it can protect consumers. Polymarket says it will conduct its own audit. The regulatory storm over prediction markets doesn’t seem to be over yet 🌪️ #Polymarket #CFTC

Polymarket rakes in $1 billion while getting targeted by a senator?

Two U.S. senators—one Republican and one Democrat—recently sent a letter to the CFTC asking it to investigate Polymarket’s “deceptive marketing.” The reason is simple: The Wall Street Journal found that they paid influencers to film fake betting videos—about 70% of the footage was staged—amounting to nearly $1.9 million. Ironically, Polymarket’s U.S. platform has only been live for six weeks, yet annualized revenue has already surpassed $1 billion. The CFTC neither confirmed nor denied it, but multiple media outlets say an investigation is already underway. The prediction markets cake keeps getting bigger, but regulatory red lines are slowly coming into view. #Polymarket #CFTC

#SpeculatorUSDNetLongNears$30B
The US Dollar is entering the second half of 2026 on a massive "winner-takes-all" wave. According to the latest CFTC data, speculative net long positions on the USD are nearing $30 billion—marking the highest level since the start of Donald Trump's second presidency.
Key takeaways from the massive surge:
Record Pace: Bullish bets grew by a net $37 billion in the first half of the year, the fastest first-half accumulation since CFTC tracking records began in 2012.
Driven by Yields: High U.S. real interest rates and heavy capital inflows into U.S. equities (estimated at $341B year-to-date) continue to vacuum up global liquidity.
The Flip Side: Traders are heavily shorting peers, with Euro shorts hitting a near 4-year high and speculative pressure on the Yen intensifying.
While rising real rates could break the USD out of its recent trading range in the short term, analysts warn that long-term structural risks—specifically U.S. fiscal sustainability—could eventually weigh on the greenback. For now, the King Dollar momentum is undeniable.

I I’ve been watching US crypto regulation all year.

And this one slipped under the radar for most people. 👀

For years, perpetual futures were the most traded product in all of crypto… that Americans technically weren’t allowed to touch.

So the volume went offshore.

How much? Offshore perp volume hit roughly $90 trillion annually in 2026, up from $28 trillion in 2023.

Tripled in three years.

All of it flowing through platforms outside US jurisdiction.

Then on May 29, the CFTC quietly flipped the switch. 🔓

It issued an Order approving Kalshi’s BTCPERP contract — the first true bitcoin perp on a US-regulated exchange.

BTCPERP went live June 3.

Here’s the part that makes me pause 👇

The agency that approved it has exactly one member right now.

CFTC Chair Michael Selig, a Trump appointee, is the only person on the commission.

One signature. A $90 trillion market gets a legal front door.

And this isn’t a law. It’s an order.

Until it’s locked in by formal rules or actual legislation, a future chair can overturn it.

Now the timing.

The same week regulators were cheering perps coming “onshore, safe, and regulated”…

a SpaceX-linked perp on Hyperliquid flash-crashed — wiping out ~$1.5 million in 30 minutes after one oversized position hit thin liquidity.

The product the US just blessed showing exactly why it’s dangerous, in real time. 😬

The race is already on. Kraken said it’ll list CFTC-regulated perps within 30 days. Kalshi plans to expand to a dozen-plus tokens.

Sourcing note: figures from CFTC filings, CoinDesk, and Fortune. The Hyperliquid crash is a separate offshore venue — not the regulated product itself, but the same instrument.

💬 Real question:

Is bringing perps onshore actually *safer* for retail — or did we just hand the most dangerous toy in crypto a regulatory stamp of approval?

#Bitcoin #CFTC #PERPS #CryptoRegulation #Us

The SEC and CFTC finally sat down to talk and unified crypto margin requirements. On the surface, they’re getting more compliant, but in reality, they want to put the leveraged beast into a cage.
For brothers trading contracts, moving funds for cross-market arbitrage may be more troublesome going forward, and liquidity may have to get a bit tighter. It’s bearish in the short term, but looking long term, once the rules are set, big capital will dare to really move in. #SEC #CFTC $BTC

CFTC Issues New Rules Draft for Event Contract Data Reporting, Seeks Public Comment

On June 25, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released a notice of proposed rulemaking, seeking public comment on amendments to data reporting requirements for certain specific event contracts in Parts 15, 16, and 17 of the Commission’s regulations.

Since 2017, these contracts have been regulated based on staff-issued “no-action letters.” The purpose of this new rulemaking is to establish an alternative reporting framework for certain specific fully collateralized event contract data.

Under the new rule, certain reporting markets, futures commission merchants, clearing members, and foreign brokers will report specific event contracts pursuant to Parts 15 through 18 of the regulations, instead of applying the existing reporting requirements in Parts 38, 39, 43, and 45.

CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig said that under his leadership, the Commission will no longer regulate market participants through the ad hoc approach of “no-action letters,” describing such practices as “patches for an incomplete regulatory framework.”

He emphasized that the proposal is an important step toward building a future-oriented regulatory framework for event contracts. And it is the CFTC’s responsibility to provide clear, actionable regulatory rules—this is the goal he is working to achieve.

At the same time, the proposal will add Section 16.03, “Covered Event Contracts,” in Part 16, covering “Reporting by Swap Execution Facilities and Contract Markets.” The specific reporting requirements will be implemented in accordance with Sections 16.00, 16.01, 16.17, and 16.18.

Once published in the Federal Register, the proposal will initiate a public comment period, during which stakeholders may submit relevant input based on the outlined issues, and the CFTC will use that feedback to refine the final details.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has filed a lawsuit against the state of Kentucky, escalating a growing legal battle over who has the authority to regulate prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. This follows Kentucky’s recent legal action against those platforms, which the state says are operating illegal gambling services.

The CFTC argues that prediction markets are under its exclusive federal jurisdiction because they function as regulated financial contracts, not gambling. It says states cannot block or override federal oversight, especially when platforms are operating under federal rules for event-based contracts.

Kentucky, however, takes the opposite view. The state claims that these platforms are effectively offering sports betting under another name, which falls under state gambling laws. Because of this, Kentucky says it has the right to regulate or ban them within its borders.

This conflict has now spread widely, with around 20 U.S. states involved in lawsuits or regulatory actions against prediction market platforms. Some states have tried to ban them entirely, while others are challenging their legality based on gambling laws and consumer protection concerns.

The case is also politically notable because Kentucky is the first Republican-led state to be sued in this series of disputes. Previously, most legal actions from the CFTC targeted Democratic-led states, even though both parties have taken action against prediction platforms.

At the center of the dispute are companies like Kalshi and Polymarket, which allow users to trade contracts based on real-world events. The outcome of this legal fight could determine whether prediction markets are treated like financial derivatives under federal law or like gambling under state law.#CFTC #Kalshi #Polymarket

CFTC is coming for another state! Get ready for an escalation in market regulation battles! 🔥

CFTC just filed a federal lawsuit against Kentucky, marking the 9th state they’ve targeted this year. 📋

Last month, the Attorney General of Kentucky hit Kalshi and Polymarket with a lawsuit, claiming they’re operating illegally without a gambling license. CFTC is firing back: event contracts are swap instruments, and we have federal jurisdiction over them! Plus, Kentucky’s imposing a 14.25% trading tax, which is basically a death sentence for these platforms. 💸

About 20 states across the U.S. are already in litigation with prediction market platforms. How will this federal vs. state regulatory showdown play out? 🤔

Market regulatory battle heats up! Kalshi teams up with CFTC to take on state government

Kalshi has officially filed a lawsuit against Illinois, challenging the state-level licensing laws for prediction markets. On the same day, the CFTC and the DOJ also launched federal lawsuits against three states, marking an escalation of the regulatory battle from local to federal levels. In June, the CFTC rolled out its first dedicated regulatory framework draft, redefining the legitimacy of prediction markets. This is a significant signal for crypto-driven prediction platforms—clearer regulations mean more room for compliant innovation. However, the tug-of-war between state and federal law still has a long way to go, making short-term market volatility inevitable. #PredictionMarkets #CFTC #Kalshi
