Foreign media: The Democratic Party won the midterm elections, predicting that the market may face stricter regulations

According to Politico, platforms including the prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket may face stricter regulations after the Democrats won the midterm elections.

Politico stated that during Trump's term, regulators had a relatively lenient attitude towards prediction markets, which facilitated their rapid expansion in areas such as politics, sports, and stocks. Several Democratic lawmakers, including Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, criticized such markets for allowing betting on sensitive events like elections, wars, and assassinations, and called for stronger legislative constraints.
