Trump's CFTC Head Slams Prediction Markets Resistance Under Predecessor

Trump's CFTC Head Slams Prediction Markets Resistance Under Predecessor
Caroline Pham, the acting chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has announced that the agency will hold a roundtable meeting next month to discuss regulation and oversight of prediction market platforms. Pham criticized the previous enforcement stance against prediction markets and expressed the need for a more common-sense approach to regulation. The CFTC recently lost a court case against prediction market platform Kalshi but is appealing the ruling. Pham emphasized the importance of prediction markets as a tool for assessing sentiment and bringing truth to the information age. She is currently leading the agency in the absence of a permanent nominee from President Trump.
