Seven members of the United States House of Representatives have addressed a letter to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig, seeking clarity on the agency's approach to insider trading within prediction markets and event contracts linked to war and conflicts. According to Cointelegraph, the lawmakers emphasized the CFTC's authority under the Commodities Exchange Act to enforce rules aimed at preventing evasion of the act's swap provisions. This assertion supports Selig's stance that the commission holds jurisdiction over prediction markets. The representatives voiced concerns regarding the CFTC's oversight of event contracts deemed morally questionable, particularly those involving U.S. military actions in Iran and Venezuela. These contracts have reportedly seen suspicious trading activities tied to the timing and outcomes of military engagements. The letter stressed the need for prompt and decisive regulatory action, warning that the persistence of such contracts raises doubts about the commission's commitment and capability to fulfill its global regulatory responsibilities. Legal challenges surrounding the regulation of prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are unfolding at both federal and state levels. Several U.S. state gaming authorities have initiated lawsuits, accusing these companies of illegally offering sports bets. Meanwhile, the CFTC, under Selig's leadership, maintains that the event contracts on these platforms qualify as swaps and are subject to federal regulations. The House members have requested Selig to address six specific questions by April 15. In a recent legal development, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld a lower court's decision preventing New Jersey gaming authorities from pursuing enforcement actions against Kalshi. Two of the three circuit judges concluded that the company has a reasonable chance of success in arguing that federal commodities laws supersede state regulations. The letter from the lawmakers follows remarks by CFTC enforcement director David Miller, who addressed concerns about insider trading. Miller indicated that the commission would prosecute cases involving individuals who trade with misappropriated information but would not allocate resources to minor infractions. This stance aligns with legislative proposals from Democrats aimed at addressing insider trading issues.
