US Democrats are considering legislation to restrict prediction markets, raising concerns about insider trading related to the Iran war.
Huoxun Finance News, March 6th - According to Cointelegraph, US Democratic Senator Chris Murphy posted a video on the X platform stating that someone placed a "very specific bet" last Friday that "the US will go to war with Iran on Saturday." He pointed out that people close to Trump clearly knew about Saturday's actions in advance, and these bettors likely had inside information. Murphy warned that if such war betting continues, those around the president might "push us into war" because they could profit from it. Several related bets circulated widely on Polymarket last Saturday. Reuters reported that Murphy and Democratic Representative Mike Levin are drafting a bill to strengthen the regulation of prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi. Levin stated that profiting from the supposed foresight of military action "should absolutely be illegal." He pointed out that while commodity laws prohibit contracts involving events "against the public interest," such as war and terrorism, current rules give prediction markets too much freedom.

Bitwise CIO: "On-chain finance" will take off ahead of schedule; Hyperliquid's trading volume exceeded $11.5 billion last weekend.
According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that while it was previously estimated that traditional markets would take 5 to 10 years to migrate to on-chain on a large scale, the influx of investors into crypto platforms to trade tokenized assets during the US-Israel attacks on Iran and the closure of major global stock markets significantly accelerated expectations for the widespread adoption of "on-chain finance." The crypto perpetual contract platform Hyperliquid became a trading hub for real-world assets (RWAs) such as crude oil and tokenized gold. "For most of Sunday, on-chain finance was the center of global financial markets," data shows that Hyperliquid's combined trading volume exceeded $11.5 billion over Saturday and Sunday. Furthermore, Tether's tokenized gold product, Tether Gold, saw its 24-hour trading volume surge to over $300 million at one point, and prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket also experienced significant increases in trading volume.

CFTC Chairman: Guidance will be provided in the coming weeks for the compliant implementation of crypto perpetual contracts in the United States.
Huoxun Finance reported on March 3rd that, according to CoinDesk, Mike Selig, Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that the agency will release policies in the coming weeks to provide guidance for the compliant implementation of crypto perpetual contracts in the United States and to promote the launch of "professional-grade" perpetual futures in the U.S. He noted that the previous administration's regulatory approach pushed a large amount of liquidity and business offshore, and that a unified path is currently being pursued through "Project Crypto," a collaboration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Selig also revealed that the CFTC will release "near-term" guidance on the regulatory approach for DeFi developers and prediction markets (such as Polymarket and Kalshi), and will begin a formal rulemaking process to provide a longer-term legal basis for its regulatory stance.

The U.S. court ruling increases the risk of Kalshi and Polymarket being suspended from trading in Nevada.
According to Decrypt, a U.S. federal judge has remanded a lawsuit filed by Nevada against Kalshi and Polymarket to the state court, allowing regulators to seek a preliminary injunction. The court ruled that commodity exchange law does not fully supersede Nevada's gaming law claims, and therefore the federal court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction in the case. If Nevada obtains an injunction, Kalshi could be temporarily prohibited from offering event contracts to users in the state. Kalshi is considering an emergency appeal, while Polymarket has sought a stay of remand while preparing an appeal. Legal analysts point out that this ruling is a major setback for Kalshi, potentially forcing it to withdraw from a state market for the first time due to a court ruling, and could trigger similar actions in other states. If Kalshi is required to implement a territorial blockade in Nevada, it will weaken its argument in other lawsuits that territorial blockades would cause "irreparable harm."

The risk of a Nevada ban on transactions involving Kalshi and Polymarket is rising.
A federal judge has remanded the Nevada case against Kalshi and Polymarket's parent company, Blockratize, to state court, ruling that the claims are primarily based on state law and that the Commodity Exchange Act does not completely exclude these claims. This means Nevada regulators can continue to seek a temporary injunction in state court, increasing the risk that Kalshi and Polymarket may be restricted from offering event contract trading in the state. The report states that Kalshi is evaluating an emergency appeal option, while Polymarket has applied for a stay of execution. Previously, Nevada had alleged that the event contracts in question required a license under state law and filed a lawsuit. (Decrypt)

PA Data: Polymarket's Khamenei betting platform has over 500 profitable addresses, but these are actually controlled by a very small number of entities.
Huoxun Finance News, March 3rd - According to on-chain cross-comparison analysis, the more than 500 suspicious addresses profiting in the Polymarket Khamenei betting platform are actually a systematic network controlled by a very small number of entities. Analysis of dimensions such as the number of common markets and directional consistency clearly identifies at least three highly correlated address clusters operating in concert. Some of these correlated addresses simultaneously placed bets in as many as 150 derivative betting platforms, demonstrating astonishingly consistent movement. They constructed a decentralized network through dozens of small bets of tens of dollars each to conceal their fund flows and evade risk control. Furthermore, comprehensive screening of abnormal data across eight dimensions revealed that the top 15 suspicious addresses alone obtained a total profit of up to $900,000 from this betting platform.

Nasdaq is venturing into prediction markets, planning to launch binary options on the CSI 100 index.
Nasdaq plans to launch an options contract that allows "yes or no" bets on major stock indices, becoming the latest exchange operator to enter the rapidly growing prediction market. According to a proposed rule change submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company hopes to list "binary options" on its flagship Nasdaq 100 and Nasdaq 100 Mini indices. The filing shows that Nasdaq contracts will be priced between 1 cent and $1, reflecting market perceptions of the likelihood of a particular outcome. This will be Nasdaq's first foray into mirror prediction market products. These so-called "outcome-related options" will allow traders to take binary positions on whether a specific event occurs. Binary options are a simplified version of options contracts where payouts depend on the outcome of a "yes or no" proposition. The prediction market industry lists financial contracts covering sports, politics, and popular culture. Unlike event contracts regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) at Kalshi, Polymarket US, and the CME Group, binary options are regulated by the SEC. Nasdaq's contract is currently awaiting SEC approval. (Golden Ten)
