Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026
This bill prohibits federal government officials, including the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and their employees, from using their official positions to profit from trading prediction market contracts based on material nonpublic information. It requires these covered individuals to report any prediction market transactions exceeding $250 to their supervising ethics office within 30 days, detailing the contract value, timing, platform, and profit or loss. The legislation establishes penalties of up to $500 or double the profit made for violations and mandates ethics offices to create implementation rules and publish procedures within 180 days of enactment.
