An Alleged "Whale" Address Reaps Over 10x Gains on LAB, Profiting $1.13 Million

May 2 — U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig is seeking to limit state-level enforcement interference in prediction markets, aiming to prevent state regulatory actions from impeding the industry’s growth.
