So there are laws from at least two federal regulators that, you know, do touch on how prediction markets market themselves to the public.
Well, I mean, we don't know entirely what's happening on a regulatory front.
Again, we've reported that the CFTC has some sort of investigation ongoing into Polymarket, although we don't know the scope or details of that.
And just from myself covering crypto for the last many years, often federal inquiries, when they happen, can take many years.
And so I think a lot of
A lot of these platforms are very new.
And so I don't think we necessarily know, you know, how, if and how, from a regulatory perspective, things might unfold.
I should add here as well that, you know, both PolyMarket and its primary competitor, Kalshi, have ties to the White House in the form of involvement from Donald Trump Jr.
So Donald Trump Jr.
is a strategic advisor to Kalshi.
He is, through an investment fund, an investor in PolyMarket.
So we don't have any reporting to suggest that that has played any kind of role in the regulators willingness or unwillingness to take on prediction markets.
But I think that, you know, that's important to mention here.
Yeah, I mean, we're obviously extremely interested in what, if any, actions regulators will take on this.
And we plan to continue reporting and try to find out more about what's going on behind the scenes here.
No, Ed, I'm so sorry to hear that.
It's a feeling I understand.
I mean, I think what really, like, stuck with me through all this reporting was, like, just how good the videos were at reporting to be on Polymarket.
And I, like, it gave me a bunch of anxiety for, you know, family members who are younger, and even myself, but more them, you know, like, asking.
how hard this is to actually know is what you're watching, you know, truly something real or is it, you know, deceptive in some sort of manner.
