The crypto market structure bill has seen almost no public progress in the past month. While it is quite difficult to predict the outcome of the bill, the window for passing it is narrowing. Many actions surrounding the market structure issue—such as statements from staff at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)—are not permanent guidance. The SEC has time to issue rules that require public notice and comment periods, but this will take time.The market structure legislation aims to codify the goals of the crypto industry and regulatory rules into law, making it more difficult for future governments to overturn these rules. In other words, without the Clarity Act, we could very well still be having the same discussions years from now.Since at least last December, May 25, Memorial Day, has been viewed as the "deadline" for legislative progress. After entering summer, lawmakers will leave Washington to campaign, leaving little time for the crypto bill (or most other legislation). Before Congress recesses, the House still needs to consider a bill that provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security, while the Senate must decide whether Kevin Warsh will become the next Federal Reserve Chair.The crypto industry is eager for the bill to pass. Over 100 organizations signed an open letter last week urging the Senate Banking Committee to hold a hearing on the bill, which would be the first step in the overall passage process. However, it is currently unclear how far the committee is from moving forward. The issue of stablecoin yields continues to dominate discussions, and other unresolved issues remain unaddressed at least in public.Even if these issues are resolved, the House will still need to vote on the bill again. House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill stated earlier this month that many unresolved issues surrounding stablecoin and DeFi sales practices have been addressed in the House version of the bill, and the Senate should be able to find consensus.

According to Cointelegraph, Brazilian authorities announced the ban of 27 prediction market platforms, including Kalshi, Polymarket, PredictIt, Robinhood (prediction feature), and Fanatics Markets.The ban is led by the Ministry of Finance and executed by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), based on Resolution No. 5.298 issued by the Brazilian National Monetary Council (CMN), which will officially take effect in early May. The new regulations explicitly prohibit prediction contracts linked to sports, politics, entertainment, or social events, deeming their nature closer to gambling rather than financial investment; only contracts linked to economic indicators such as inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and commodity prices will be retained. Dario Durigan, the executive secretary of the Ministry of Finance, stated that prediction markets could deepen the debt burden of households and small to medium-sized enterprises, posing financial risks. Currently, several countries, including France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, have implemented similar restrictions.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, reaffirming its exclusive jurisdiction over the U.S. commodity derivatives market (including prediction markets). This case involves Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. KalshiEx LLC (case number SJC-13906).CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated that Congress has authorized the CFTC to have sole regulatory authority over the commodity derivatives market and warned that any state attempting to override federal law "will see you in court." The brief details the legislative history and framework of the Commodity Exchange Act, clarifying that the federal regulatory system takes precedence over relevant state laws. Previously, the CFTC has filed lawsuits against Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, and New York, successfully obtaining a temporary restraining order against Arizona to prevent it from exercising state jurisdiction over prediction markets regulated by the CFTC.
