[Poll Shows Majority of U.S. Voters Support Federal Unified Regulation of Prediction Markets] BlockBeats News, June 25: Two polls commissioned by the Coalition for Prediction Markets reveal that both Republican and Democratic voters in the United States are more inclined to support federal-level unified regulation of prediction markets rather than a state-by-state regulatory approach. Among them, 48% of Republican respondents favor a federal unified framework, while only 27% support state-level regulation. Similarly, 45% of Democratic respondents support federal regulation, compared to 35% who favor state-level oversight. Only 8% of respondents believe that prediction markets should be banned in the U.S., with the majority supporting consumer autonomy in deciding whether to participate in prediction markets. The survey also indicates that individuals under the age of 35 have the highest acceptance of prediction markets, with more than half of young respondents expressing interest in or already using related platforms. Currently, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket are engaged in disputes with various state governments over regulatory authority, with the primary focus being whether sports event contracts fall under federally regulated prediction market products.
