The new Coalition for Prediction Markets (CPM) spent a lot of money on the marketing budget, sharing a full-page ad in the Washington Post.
Inside it reads “CFTC Regulated prediction markets (already) prohibit insider trading.” He then gives a list of what they consider to be regulated and unregulated features, before stating: “Congress, let’s continue to work together to keep prediction markets safe and transparent for consumers here in America.” »

The CPM’s goal is to be a unified industry voice working with policymakers, regulators and the public to establish clear and fair rules that make prediction markets accessible and trustworthy. This comes after the group said it would support Rep. Ritchie Torres’ effort to strengthen the integrity of the sector, following reports that an anonymous Polymarket user allegedly cashed out more than $400,000 in a transaction linked to an operation to impeach Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, an incident that raised concerns.
What is the Prediction Markets Coalition?
The coalition, which was only announced in December 2025has some big names behind it, as industry giants Kalshi and Crypto.com formed it. Upon arrival, they said they convened a broad alliance of industry leaders, including Coinbase, Robinhood and Underdog, to help form the coalition.
The bipartisan group also announced in January that former U.S. Representative and Ambassador Sean Patrick Maloney will be CEO and president. In the same news, they explained how former US Representative and President Patrick McHenry would join the group as a senior advisor.
In CPM’s announcement messages on
“Today is just the beginning. A clearer and more reliable prediction market ecosystem benefits everyone.”
In its first announcement, the PMO said its initial work would focus on strengthening the federal framework governing prediction markets, with establishing and educating national integrity standards at the heart of this work.
While still relatively new, this PR push with a significant gap could signal what’s to come, especially as some prediction markets face difficulties with state regulators.
