STOP Corrupt Bets Act of 2026
The STOP Corrupt Bets Act of 2026 prohibits trading on prediction markets related to political elections, government actions, sporting events, and military operations through registered financial entities. This ban applies to contracts, transactions, or swaps involving these topics unless they are used for legitimate hedging or commercial risk mitigation.

Additionally, the legislation clarifies that it does not override state laws regulating gambling.
