   How Public Is Bringing AI Agents to Prediction Markets | Prediction Market Movers

   On this episode of Prediction Market Movers, Chris Gerlacher chats with Leif Abraham, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Public, to discuss the evolution of Public into an agentic, multi-asset brokerage and why the company recently added prediction markets through its partnership with Kalshi. Abraham explains how Public is using AI agents to automate trading strategies, portfolio management, risk management, and other financial decisions. He discusses how agents can help investors execute systematic strategies, reduce emotional decision-making, and connect different asset classes within a single portfolio. He also explains how Public built its agentic technology to separate AI reasoning from deterministic trade execution. Chris and Leif also discuss what will differentiate brokerages as prediction markets and other new financial products become more widely available, Public’s focus on digital-native investors, the role of product design and AI, the company’s rapid pace of innovation, and what’s next for Public as it continues expanding its multi-asset platform. 👉 Subscribe to Prediction Market Movers for weekly conversations with traders, legal experts, entertainers and industry insiders shaping the future of prediction markets.

   Gary DeWaal on Sports Contracts, Perps & CFTC Preemption | Prediction Market Movers

   On this episode of Prediction Market Movers, Chris Gerlacher of Prediction News sits down with Gary DeWaal, a veteran CFTC and derivatives law expert, for a deep dive into the history and future of prediction markets, futures regulation, and the ongoing legal battles surrounding sports event contracts. DeWaal shares his perspective from decades in derivatives law, including his time at the CFTC. The conversation examines the long-running tension between state gambling laws and federally regulated futures markets, from the Statute of Anne and early bucket-shop laws to the Commodity Exchange Act and modern CFTC preemption. DeWaal explains his interpretation of how sports event contracts fit within the CFTC's jurisdiction and why he believes the definition of swaps and the federal preemption framework are central to the current prediction market litigation. Chris and DeWaal also break down Kalshi's Ninth Circuit litigation, the distinction between betting and exchange-traded derivatives, sports contracts, CFTC enforcement, and the regulatory challenges facing prediction markets. They also take a detailed look at perpetual futures ("perps"), including funding mechanisms, market surveillance, reference prices, 24/7 trading, leverage, and the concerns surrounding perpetual contracts in agricultural markets. The episode also explores 24/7 futures trading, prediction market regulation, responsible trading rules, and DeWaal's role as a public director at prediction market exchange Növig. With prediction markets and perpetuals rapidly evolving, this conversation offers a historical and legal perspective on some of the biggest regulatory questions facing the derivatives industry today. 👉 Subscribe to Prediction Market Movers for weekly conversations with traders, legal experts, entertainers and industry insiders shaping the future of prediction markets.
