CDC Gaming: Inside the latest prediction market news

Donald Trump Jr. is stepping down from his role as an advisor to Kalshi, less than two weeks after Democrats took control of Congress in the midterm elections. The decision comes as Democrats in both the House and Senate are expected to scrutinize President Trump’s family ties to crypto and prediction market companies, Bloomberg reported. Trump Jr. has been an advisor to Kalshi and Polymarket since 2025. The Financial Times reported that his stake in Kalshi was worth $300,000 in January 2025. His firm, 1789 Capital, invested $200 million in Polymarket before adding another $300 million over the summer.
