forklog.media JPMorgan CEO Considers Entering Prediction Market

The world's largest bank, JPMorgan, is contemplating entering the prediction market. This was stated by the company's CEO, Jamie Dimon, in an interview with CBS. "Perhaps one day we will do something like this. But there are things we will definitely not do. And, of course, we have strict rules regarding insider information," he said. Earlier, similar ambitions were expressed by Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon. During the January earnings report, he stated that the organization is actively exploring this area: "Personally, I have met with the leadership of two major companies in the prediction field over the past weeks, spending several hours with them to learn more. We have a team studying this direction." Rapid Growth of the Sector Prediction markets continue to expand. The segment is still dominated by two platforms — Polymarket and Kalshi. By the end of March, their combined trading volume reached $23.2 billion — a record high. The leaders are also attracting more funding. In March, Kalshi received $1 billion, increasing its capitalization to $22 billion. Polymarket is also preparing for a similar move to raise its market value from the current $9 billion to $20 billion. Meanwhile, competition is rapidly intensifying. The third place in turnover is held by the YZi Labs-backed platform Opinion, launched in October 2025. Players from the crypto industry are actively entering the prediction market: Coinbase, Crypto.com, Magic Eden, Galaxy. Regulatory Risks Despite rapid development, regulation remains a key uncertainty. The legal status of prediction markets in the United States is still being formed. Such platforms are currently prohibited at the state level. The CFTC is taking steps towards creating a regulatory framework for the sector. In March, the agency published a preliminary notice of proposed regulation, inviting public discussion on rules for prediction markets. Last week, the regulator also established an Innovation Task Force to develop standards in AI, cryptocurrencies, and prediction markets. Its participants will coordinate with other federal agencies, including the SEC. In an interview with Dastan, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig urged officials to establish clear rules for the sector promptly. He warned that otherwise, many companies might move offshore, and investors could face an "illusion" similar to the FTX scenario. My full interview with @ChairmanSelig of the CFTC.We spoke about the Chairman's upbringing, his time at the SEC and now the CFTC, crypto and prediction markets.

I fear we will witness a repeat scenario in prediction markets if we continue to push them into an offshore, unregulated environment," Selig said. He insists on the registration of platforms in the U.S. and the implementation of protective mechanisms for market participants. Back in February, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned about prediction platforms turning into casinos.

forklog.media Australia Enacts Cryptocurrency Exchange Licensing Law

Australia has approved the country's first comprehensive act for the digital assets market. Cryptocurrency exchanges and custodial services are now required to obtain financial services licenses. On April 1, the Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025 passed both houses of parliament. Cryptocurrency-focused platforms will be subject to the same standards as brokers and fund managers. The document introduces two new regulated classes under the Corporations Act: Digital asset platforms — exchanges and similar services that hold digital assets on behalf of users. Tokenized storage platforms — firms that issue and hold virtual tokens backed by real assets. Operators in both categories must obtain an AFSL license from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). It imposes requirements for client funds protection, capital adequacy, transparency in reporting, and participation in dispute resolution mechanisms. Previously, cryptocurrency exchanges in Australia only needed to register with anti-money laundering authorities if their products were not considered financial instruments. Under the new regulations, trading platforms will have to meet stricter standards. ASIC will gain expanded powers to set rules for asset custody, management, and risk management, with civil penalties for violations. Small platforms are exempt from some requirements. Full licensing will not be required for firms with client funds under 5000 AUD and annual turnover below 10 million AUD. The bill is currently awaiting royal assent — the final stage. It will come into force 12 months after approval, with an additional transition period for businesses. Former Deputy Director of Digital Assets Policy at the Commonwealth Treasury, Jazz Osvald, welcomed the adoption of the document. He noted that the government also added clarifications in the explanatory note on how the law should apply in cases where control over digital tokens is exercised through multi-party computations. Earlier in 2025, the plan for developing cryptocurrency legislation in Australia emerged, aiming to create a regulated ecosystem that combines innovation with consumer protection.
