Over 40 Democratic lawmakers are urging the Trump administration to provide guidance regarding insider trading in prediction markets. The lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), argue that federal employees cannot use nonpublic information to trade on prediction markets due to the growing popularity of these platforms. They have also raised concerns about potential insider trading activities on these platforms, particularly in light of recent events such as the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and U.S. airstrikes on Iran. The politicians are also seeking a staff-level briefing on whether the agencies have provided any guidance on the issue.
