Andreessen Horowitz's crypto division has urged the CFTC to establish a federal regulatory framework for prediction markets, citing the need to prevent insider trading and reconcile conflicting state laws. The proposal emphasizes blockchain's transparency for real-time monitoring and KYC checks to create prohibited trader lists.

The move comes as Kalshi's weekly trading volume surged tenfold to $3 billion, highlighting the urgency for clear rules. a16z argues prediction markets extend traditional information aggregation methods, requiring CFTC oversight to resolve disputes about event outcomes.
