Prediction Market RISK Act Prediction Market Restrictions on...
To reaffirm the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's authority to enforce prohibited activity on prediction markets.
HB8148, also known as the Prediction Market RISK Act, aims to strengthen the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's ability to regulate and enforce rules against prohibited activities in prediction markets. This includes preventing insider trading and the trading of information that should not be publicly accessible. The bill is intended to ensure that these markets operate fairly and transparently.
The bill would primarily affect individuals and organizations involved in prediction markets, such as financial traders, analysts, and those who operate or participate in these markets. By clarifying the regulatory powers of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the bill seeks to protect market integrity and prevent manipulative practices.
As of March 27, 2026, HB8148 was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. This is the first step in the legislative process, where the bill will now be reviewed and possibly scheduled for further action such as hearings or votes. The bill has not yet advanced beyond the introduction phase.
