A bill would prohibit policy wagers on prediction platforms while not specifically barring members of the US Congress from using the platforms or placing sports bets. According to Cointelegraph, the measure does not explicitly restrict lawmakers from participating on these platforms or engaging in sports wagering, but it draws a clear line against bets tied to policy outcomes. The report indicates the bill’s central restriction targets “policy wagers,” distinguishing them from other forms of activity that may occur on prediction markets. While the legislation does not single out Congress members for a blanket ban on platform use, it would still prohibit wagers related to policy, as described in the text. The article did not provide additional details on enforcement, scope beyond the stated prohibition, or any timeline for the bill’s consideration.

According to BeInCrypto, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards, CryptoQuant Head of Research Julio Moreno, and independent analysts Benjamin Cowen and Michael van de Poppe said AI helps compress routine analysis and build tools such as dashboards and portfolios quickly, but models can miss macro context and correlation risks. They added that institutions verify data continuously and that curated, high-quality datasets remain the key edge.
