Breaking news: The U.S. government is targeting prediction markets! A House committee has just proposed BANNING or RESTRICTING officials, lawmakers, and military personnel from trading on Kalshi and $POLYMARKET.
The goal is to combat insider trading. More importantly, they want to prevent even the "appearance" of officials profiting from confidential government information. Laws are already in place, but this proposal would tighten restrictions even further.
This is a major blow to the prediction market narrative, especially in the DeFi sector. A warning that legal risks are increasing. If they can ban trading, could they also ban the platforms?
Regulatory pressure will keep mounting, putting these projects in a difficult position. Could this be the start of a new legal battle against all of DeFi?
