Senate bans prediction-market trading by members and staff
→Senators and staff must stop prediction-market trading under ethics rules
Change
Senate amended conflict-of-interest rules to ban prediction-market trading by senators, officers and employees.
Why it matters
Senate ethics compliance now covers all prediction-market bets, not only trades tied to inside knowledge. Senate offices must treat prediction markets as a prohibited trading category.
Implications
- → Senate ethics offices must update internal trading guidance immediately — prediction-market trading is now barred for covered personnel.
- → Senate officers and employees must stop new prediction-market trades — the ban does not depend on inside-knowledge exposure.
