Rep. Ritchie Torres has introduced a new bill aimed at banning federal officials from trading on prediction markets using non-public information. The proposal, called the Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026, comes after concerns that U.S. insiders may have profited from sensitive Venezuela-related bets. Prediction markets allow users to wager on real-world outcomes like elections, conflicts, and political changes. Lawmakers fear officials with access to classified intelligence could exploit these platforms for personal gain. The bill seeks to protect public trust by closing loopholes that could enable insider trading on geopolitical events.
