Senators Unveil 2026 Public Integrity Act to Curb Prediction-Market Insider Trading

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced the Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026 on Thursday, aiming to bar government officials from trading prediction-market contracts using nonpublic information. The proposal would fine violators an amount equal to twice any profits, and it requires reporting within 30 days for any wager over $250 with detailed trade disclosures.
