The CFTC is proposing its first regulation for prediction markets to evaluate contracts related to terrorism, war, and other sensitive topics. Kalshi, a prediction market platform, has implemented employment verification for certain bets to prevent insider trading, as authorities crack down on illegal market activities. This reflects growing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets and their potential for abuse.
Background
