Following the 2026 midterm elections that resulted in Democratic control of both chambers of Congress, Senator Elizabeth Warren is preparing to chair the Senate Banking Committee starting in January. An aide confirmed that her agenda includes intensive oversight of prediction markets and the Trump family's cryptocurrency ventures. Warren's focus reportedly targets potential insider trading and platform manipulation within election betting platforms, as well as regulatory compliance for the Trump-linked World Liberty Financial project. This follows a previous bipartisan inquiry by Warren and Senator John Curtis into how major prediction platforms prevent trading based on nonpublic information.
