Crackdown on Crypto Prediction Markets Begins in US Senate
━━━━━━━━━━
⚡️ In 3 seconds
With Elizabeth Warren taking the chair of the Senate Banking Committee, the plan for a severe crackdown on crypto betting and prediction markets begins in January using subpoena power
━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Numbers you need to know
• 49 to 50 negative Senate votes leading to the failure of the market structure bill and paving the way for strict plans
• November 3 deadline set by senators to receive written responses from Kalshi and Polymarket platforms regarding insider trading
• 2026 the year the CFTC attempted to establish a federal support umbrella over these platforms
━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 What 90% of the media doesn't say
This is not a simple confrontation between cryptocurrencies and banks, but a deep power struggle between two governing institutions; while the CFTC was trying to legitimize these markets, the Senate Banking Committee intends to dissolve both the platforms and their support structure using subpoenas on charges of insider trading and volume manipulation
━━━━━━━━━━
⚖️ Two sides of the coin
🟢 Cleansing the market of fake trades and criminalizing politicians' betting on their own competitions
🔴 Potential forced out-of-reach of native crypto platforms for users and a drop in decentralized financial trading volume
━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What does it mean for your wallet?
There is a probability of a sharp decrease in liquidity in Ethereum-based prediction apps and an increase in market manipulation risk for retail traders; the legal risks of this sector are increasing

💬 Do you think heavy government oversight on decentralized prediction markets benefits market health or undermines the philosophy of cryptocurrencies?
