The House Financial Services Committee will host a private, Republican-only roundtable on prediction markets Wednesday afternoon, according to an internal event memo we obtained.
The sitdown will be a high-stakes event for the prominent prediction market companies as well as the sector’s detractors. Chair French Hill (R-Ark.) told us in April that lawmakers were exploring whether there was “a need for any imminent statutory change” in the federal law around event contracts.
On the guest list: Kalshi’s Tarek Mansour, Polymarket’s Neal Kumar, Robinhood’s JB Mackenzie and the American Gaming Association’s Chris Cylke.
