US Congressman Brian Stile has introduced the "Stop Member Prediction Act," aiming to prohibit Congress members and their spouses and children from placing bets on prediction market contracts related to government policies or actions. Violators will face civil fines of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction amount (whichever is higher) and must forfeit all profits. The government oversight group "Project On Government Oversight" (POGO) welcomed this but believes the bill's scope is too narrow, calling for the ban to extend to all officials and staff across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government. POGO pointed out that current laws have almost zero restrictions on conflicts of interest for federal employees, and the emergence of prediction markets further amplifies the risk of insider information being abused, leading to unfair competition and potentially distorting public policy decisions. Currently, the approval rating for the US Congress stands at just 24%. This regulatory gap has led to real cases: US Army Special Forces Officer Cannon Van Dyke has been accused of using military intelligence to profit by betting on Polymarket, with the case set to be heard on December 7. Additionally, the Anti-Corruption Data Alliance has tracked over $9.3 million in high-yield bets closely linked to military actions in Venezuela and Iran, suspected of insider trading. Previously, Stile's "Stop Insider Trading Act" passed the House Administration Committee in January, but there has been no further advancement since.
