🇺🇸 Trump Vows Investigation into Federal Workers Betting on Prediction Markets

Funny thing is… the statement is coming from the ultimate casino owner himself. 👀

Laughing to death, you’re the casino owner yourself and still come to oppose gambling? The political show is way too obvious.

Government employees predicting the market and betting on it is indeed a bit sensitive; informational advantages can easily become "insider information." The key is not whether it's prohibited, but how to define "job-related information" and avoid conflicts of interest.

It's not betting that worries me, it's using confidential information as a bargaining chip.

If you want a real investigation, clarify the scope: is it all federal employees banned, or only those in sensitive positions? A blanket ban risks unintended consequences, while being too lenient is effectively neglecting the issue.

This sentence coming out of his mouth does have a bit of dark humor.

Prediction markets are growing larger on the chain, and this regulatory discussion is likely to spill over to platforms like Polymarket. Compliance expectations need to be prepared in advance.
