11 U.S. Democratic senators urge Senate Banking Committee to hold hearing on prediction markets
BlockBeats reported on September 24 that 11 Democratic senators on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee are urging Committee Chairman Tim Scott to hold a hearing on prediction markets.
The move follows the committee’s plan to hold a prediction-market roundtable next week attended only by Republican lawmakers. The roundtable will focus on securities-based prediction markets, and a Kalshi representative is expected to attend.
At present, primary regulatory authority over prediction markets lies with the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Banking Committee’s proposed discussion is viewed as a step toward further involvement in prediction-market issues.
