The prediction markets around the country, Sam, facing some scrutiny now here and it appears, as we discussed earlier in the show, crypto.com is gonna pull out of some states because they're getting some pushback as well. And so, uh, you know, naturally, Sam, I think you knew and everyone else knew that eventually, eventually, there was gonna be. Some significant questions surrounding this. It just comes down to eventually maybe how the Supreme Court or someone else views these prediction markets, but for the time being, I think smart move for uh these markets that don't fully support it to at least pull out for the time being, unlike some others where they still continue to operate until they're told, no, you're doing this illegally. Yeah, it's definitely been a game of how long can we kind of get away with this before the courts catch up, as you know, like when you talk about something going to the Supreme Court, which it sounds like in this case is increasingly likely, that takes a long time. It has to go through the lower courts first, which take their own long times, and then eventually that has to get appealed whenever the decision is there, and eventually it would make its way to the Supreme Court. So we're talking not for, you know, the next couple Of years at kind of the earliest. And meanwhile prediction markets, most of them aren't pulling out of states. You have companies like Calci, Crypto.com, and others ramping up their partnerships, partnering with more places to legitimize them, places like CNN, getting big investments and kind of sort of becoming too big to fail all while the legal system catches up. You have those myriad of state lawsuits playing out. Cases companies have won favor with the judges, allowing them to keep offering these sports prediction markets while the cases play out. In other cases like in Arizona, that has not been the case. But meanwhile you have kind of Congress starting to at least become aware of the issue. There was a reauthorization hearing held by the House Committee on Agriculture this week which was designed really just to see what was going on with the CFT. CFTC, which has been really understaffed and underfunded for years now, but it quickly became a hearing that was focused on can the CFTC even regulate this stuff? Should it regulate this stuff? Do we have to modify the Commodities Exchange Act, which essentially gave the CFTC purview over sports over event contracts before we even knew sports event contracts would be a thing. So they had a number of Experts and former commissioners and general counsel testifying saying that the CFTC really cannot handle this kind of stuff unless you give it more resources or maybe congress members and senators have to propose legislation that would change the law. So we'll see what happens there. No legislation was proposed immediately, but it's definitely going to be an issue we keep watching as this crazy prediction markets landscape keeps unfolding.
