David, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has filed a brief in a case involving Crypto.com and the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

Crypto.com allows users to bet on things like the Super Bowl and even economic indicators.

It wants one federal regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

TrumpRx offers coupons for some drugs that consumers take to their pharmacies.

You still need a prescription, and you can't use your insurance to shop on TrumpRx.
