But really, he's got a lot of assets just like many others similarly situated.
And so, of course, those are going to go up and down.
The president's not involved, of course, in the day to day management of those.
never become a central bank digital currency is are we are you concerned about that at all i'm very concerned about central bank digital currencies and we in the trump administration have been very clear that that's not going to happen under our watch we have put out an executive order the president actually put this out just a week into office i think on the 25th of january last year prohibiting central bank digital currencies and we put out a report that i was part of on the president's working group on digital assets
that specifically states that it is a policy of this administration to prevent a digital central bank digital currency from coming to fruition but of course the prior administration was pushing that and we had to withdraw some of their actions on them is there anybody in congress i mean is there any way to get this passed before this president leaves office because i mean
Well, that's our concern.
We want things to be future proof.
We need to make sure that a central bank digital currency is never possible.
And legislation is the most important and future proof thing in Washington.

So prediction markets have been around for a long time.
We actually do have an express prohibition in our statute, or I should say the discretion for the agency to prohibit certain contracts on war, terrorism, assassination for public policy purposes.
But prediction markets on politics, sports and other things have been around for a long time.
The distinction between a prediction market, which offers what are called event contracts, so that's a type of financial instrument, and gambling, which is done in a casino, and we've had in our statute, in the Commodity Exchange Act, as well as the securities laws, express authority to regulate these types of financial instruments, and that covers off any sort of state regulation of those products as gambling.
So there's what's called exclusive jurisdiction for these agencies.
And the distinction there, though, is the product.
When you create a financial instrument, it has certain rights that you have by owning that contract and it trades in a financial market.
So there's a really high bar to be able to trade and offer that product.
