US Proposes Restricting Prediction Markets for Congress Members

Bryan Steil, Chairman of the House Administration Committee, stated that the insider trading bill H.R. 7008 should include provisions regarding prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. The updated rules propose a complete ban on the use of such platforms by Congress members, their spouses, and children, and also include fines of $2000 or 10% of the transaction amount with the confiscation of realized profits.
