参议员不得再利用内幕信息在新兴的预测市场平台牟利。
参议院在离开华盛顿特区进入为期一周的休会期前,悄悄通过了一项立法,禁止参议员及其工作人员在Kalshi和Polymarket等预测市场平台上下注。
在这些平台上,用户可以对几乎任何事件下注,从国际事件、政治竞选到战争结果,乃至知名人士是否会离婚。

这项由俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺推动的举措在参议院全票通过,并立即修改了参议院的内部规则。
莫雷诺表示,他的立法旨在消除议员“副业”的担忧,增强民众对国会机构的信任。此前议员们曾试图自行监管在职期间的股票交易禁令,但未能成功。
“我认为我们根本不应该买卖股票,这完全不可理喻,”莫雷诺说,“我们应该专注于本职工作,让选民们明白,‘这家伙投出这一票,是因为这对本州来说是正确的选择’。”

参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默在参议院全体会议上对这项举措表示赞赏,并呼吁众议院也推行类似的监管措施。
“约翰逊议长应该立即在众议院做同样的事,”舒默说道。
众议院也正兴起类似的立法动议,由爱荷华州共和党众议员阿什利·辛森牵头,她正参选即将退休的爱荷华州共和党参议员乔尼·恩斯特的席位。

最受欢迎的几家预测市场公司也对这项举措表示支持。Polymarket在X平台上发表声明称:“我们完全支持这一举措。”
“我们的规则手册和服务条款已经禁止此类行为,但将其写入法律是行业向前迈出的一步,”该公司表示,“我们随时愿意尽己所能推动这项法案通过。”

Kalshi联合创始人塔雷克·曼苏尔同样呼吁众议院采取同样行动。
“Kalshi已经主动屏蔽了国会议员,并针对内幕交易行为进行执法,”曼苏尔在X平台上说道,“这是提升市场信任度的绝佳举措,将使其成为行业标准。”

Senators can no longer use insider information to profit on emerging prediction market platforms.
The Senate, before leaving Washington, D.C., for a weeklong recess, quietly passed legislation that would prevent senators and their staff from betting on prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket.
On those platforms, users can bet on nearly anything, from world events and political races to the outcome of a war or whether a notable figure will get a divorce.
CONGRESS EXTENDS CONTROVERSIAL SPY LAW FOR 45 DAYS AFTER SENATE REJECTS HOUSE BILL

The move, pushed by Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, passed the upper chamber unanimously and immediately changed the Senate’s rules.
Moreno said his legislation was meant to erase concerns of “side hustles” by lawmakers and increase faith in the institution. It comes as lawmakers have tried and failed to police themselves with bans on stock trading while in office.
“I don’t believe we should trade stocks at all. It’s completely insane,” Moreno said. “I think we should focus on our jobs and have our voters go, ‘Hey, this guy’s voting this way, because this is the right thing for the state.’”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., lauded the move on the Senate floor and called for similar guardrails to be installed in the House.
“Speaker Johnson should immediately do the same thing in the House,” Schumer said.
There is an effort bubbling in the House to do the same, led by Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, who is running to replace retiring Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.

The most popular prediction market companies are backing the move, too. Polymarket said in a statement on X, “We’re in full support of this.”
“Our Rulebook & Terms of Service already prohibit such conduct, but codifying this into law is a step forward for the industry,” the company said. “Happy to help move this forward however we can.”

Tarek Mansour, the co-founder of Kalshi, similarly pushed for the House to do the same.
“Kalshi already proactively blocks members of Congress and enforces against insider trading,” Mansour said on X. “This is a great step to increase trust in our markets by making it an industry standard.”
