A U.S. Army service member is facing civil enforcement action tied to prediction market trading, marking a significant escalation in regulatory scrutiny of event contracts. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said on April 23, 2026, it filed a complaint alleging insider trading tied to sensitive government operations, highlighting concerns about how nonpublic information intersects with emerging betting markets.
The CFTC said the complaint was filed against Gannon Ken Van Dyke of North Carolina, accusing him of using classified information related to a U.S. operation involving Nicolás Maduro. The agency noted:
CFTC Chairman Mike Selig wrote on X: “I’ve been crystal clear: anyone who engages in insider trading in any of our markets will face the full force of the law.” The CFTC is seeking restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, trading bans, and a permanent injunction.
The “Eddie Murphy Rule” refers to Section 4c(a)(4) of the Commodity Exchange Act, which bars members of the government, including service members, from using nonpublic government information in prediction markets and other markets within the CFTC’s jurisdiction. The CFTC said this case marks the first time it has used the rule to bring charges based on alleged misuse of government information
The CFTC claimed Van Dyke used nonpublic details tied to “Operation Absolute Resolve” to purchase more than 436,000 “Yes” shares on Polymarket in a contract tied to Maduro’s removal by Jan. 31, 2026. The filing states the trades generated more than $404,000 in profits. The DOJ separately alleged Van Dyke profited approximately $409,881 from related prediction market trading.
The DOJ indictment, unsealed in Manhattan federal court, alleges Van Dyke used classified information from his role in “Operation Absolute Resolve” to place trades on Polymarket. Prosecutors said he accessed classified, nonpublic national defense information and placed bets before any public disclosure, positioning himself to profit from the anticipated outcome. Authorities also stressed the national security risks tied to the conduct, noting the defendant participated in operational planning and violated a duty of confidentiality tied to his role. Selig added:
Federal prosecutors stated the conduct involved misuse of sensitive national defense information, aligning with parallel criminal charges filed in the Southern District of New York. Director of Enforcement David I. Miller warned: “The defendant abused that trust by misappropriating extremely sensitive information regarding U.S. military operations, and by doing so, placed the lives and security of our service members at risk.”

Binance has always been talking about a grand goal: scaling from 300 million users to 3 billion users.

@CZ
Maybe many people think this is just pie in the sky.
But after I recently finished reading Mr. Zhao's (CZ) new book 'Freedom of Money' (Life at Binance), my personal understanding has definitely been refreshed.

In July 2017, Binance officially launched. Back then, BNB had already faced a significant dip. Who would have thought that 9 years later, Binance would boast 300 million users, becoming one of the world's top exchanges?

@Yi He
Especially recently, I've been seeing the one and only He Yi pushing Binance's new features: AI Agent (AI trading), batch transfers (financial payments), and Binance Chat (private social networking), among others.

Anchorage seeks to expand its issuance platform through M0, and opens the door to a broad range of firms looking to launch U.S.-regulated stablecoins.
M0 (pronounced “M Zero”), is a flexible protocol that allows global institutions to mint fully configurable stablecoins, which also works with the likes of Stripe, Moonpay and MetaMask.
It might not sound like the sexiest topic, but we have been building modular infrastructure for stablecoins for three years now,” said M0 CEO Luca Prosperi, in an interview. “This means we are supporting anyone who wants to launch and manage their own stablecoin, whether it is a crypto project, protocol, fintech, payment provider, exchange and many more.”By partnering with M0, we’re extending our issuance platform to support that growth, while maintaining the regulatory, operational, and security standards our partners rely on,” said Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley, in a statement.
The arrival of the GENIUS Act means stablecoins in the U.S. are becoming a regulated instrument. M0 has already partnered with several regulated players that are using the firm’s contracts, but with Anchorage the regulation-focused relationship is “a bit deeper,” Prosperi added.
