Senator Murphy Criticizes White House Over Prediction Market Profits

Senator Chris Murphy has raised concerns about White House insiders allegedly profiting from advance knowledge of U.S. military strikes on Iran through prediction markets. According to NS3.AI, blockchain analytics have uncovered coordinated bets placed via Polymarket shortly before the attacks, resulting in profits exceeding $1 million. This situation has sparked calls for legislative action to prohibit prediction markets that enable trading on sensitive government decisions, citing ethical and national security risks.
