THIS is what I've been calling for, for ages, and would be one of the actual *useful* regulatory policies Dems could push forward. Respecting the right of self-exclusion. Doesn't matter if its stock options, leveraged margin, or opening pokemon packs. If someone knows they are susceptible to addiction to risk reward products, we should respect their right to say "no" Gambling companies had to be forced by regulation. Since they only make money when bettors lose, these types of users were their most profitable. Regulated markets like CME, Kalshi and NASDAQ earn on trade fees and aren't the house, they don't have that maligned conflict of interest and are proactively choosing to implement this standard. In the US, we believe as adults a government shouldn't get to decide what's right for us, as long as we aren't hurting others. That respect for sovereignty, should always include their right to say "no, that's not for me" I hope we can get other institutions, including traditional finance, to come up to the standard @Kalshi is setting here. If lawmakers have concerns about risky financial industries, let's build a world where a consumer has the right to opt-out.(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
