- Senators demand crackdown on wildfire "prediction markets"
US senators from Oregon, California, Nevada, Minnesota, and New Hampshire wrote to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to inquire about actions against prediction markets allowing bets on wildfires. The letter criticizes platforms like Polymarket and an unnamed site offering simulated bets on California wildfires, arguing such markets prioritize profit over community suffering.
