Warren vows scrutiny of Kalshi, Polymarket & Trump crypto
A Polymarket soldier case & a $172,000+ Kalshi settlement fuel insider-trading concerns, according to The Block.
The hit
Senator Elizabeth Warren will scrutinise prediction markets & Trump family crypto businesses when she becomes Senate Banking Committee chair in January, according to The Block. A Warren aide says Big Tech CEOs, administration officials & Trump family crypto businesses should preserve documents & prepare for tough questions.
Why it matters
For bettors, it signals more federal attention on platforms like Kalshi & Polymarket, especially around insider trading & election bets. Warren’s aide says she wants to end what they call a “Wild West” lack of oversight. Any new scrutiny could mean tighter rules on who can trade & on what information.
