Adam Schiff 5.0 1 idea

Senators Schiff and Curtis are advancing bipartisan legislation to classify and ban sports-style "prediction markets" as gambling, arguing they enable unregulated insider trading (citing a 93% accurate better on the Iran war) and circumvent state authority. They claim the CFTC is wrongly treating them as futures contracts. The proposed "Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act" represents a clear, bipartisan regulatory threat aimed at shutting down or severely restricting the core business model of companies operating in this niche (e.g., Kalshi, Polymarket). AVOID due to existential regulatory risk. The sector faces a high probability of increased scrutiny and potential federal ban, which would directly impair or eliminate the business models of companies operating prediction markets. The legislation may not pass or could be watered down. The sector may adapt or find alternative regulatory pathways.
