The platform itself supports bans, which shows how deep this water really is. Lawmakers, let's not play around anymore.

JieWorld News reports that the U.S. Congress is pushing to ban its members from trading on crypto prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi. On April 30, 2026, the Senate unanimously passed a rule prohibiting senators and their staff from trading on prediction markets, effective immediately. The House is also preparing to follow suit, with Representative Bryan Steil working to attach prediction market restrictions to a broader bill that bans members from trading individual stocks, which is expected to be voted on in the summer. The main concern behind this move is that members of Congress may possess non-public information that could influence the outcomes of these markets, constituting insider trading. Notably, both Polymarket and Kalshi have expressed support for this ban.
