What it does
The STOP Corrupt Bets Act of 2026 would amend the Commodity Exchange Act to prohibit the listing, clearing, or trading of event contracts on prediction markets related to political elections, government actions, sporting events, and military actions by U.S. or foreign entities. The prohibition does not apply to contracts used for hedging or mitigating commercial risk, as determined by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The bill also requires a GAO study within 60 days of enactment on prediction markets, including insider trading, impacts on young adults, and foreign market integrity, with findings and recommendations to be made public and submitted to Congress.
