美国前参议员布兰奇·林肯的立场发生了转变。1她曾在2010年7月就《多德-弗兰克华尔街改革和消费者保护法》举行的参议院听证会上警告，预测市场容易被用作赌博工具，特别指出"围绕超级碗、肯塔基德比和高尔夫大师赛等体育赛事构建事件合约会很容易。这些合约不会产生任何真实商业目的，只会用于赌博。"1
如今，林肯已成为预测市场公司Kalshi的游说代表。1自2024年以来，她创办的公司已从Kalshi获得48万美元的报酬，用于游说国会和商品期货交易委员会放宽对事件合约的监管。1林肯目前正游说商品期货交易委员会允许在预测市场上进行体育赌博。1
Former U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln has shifted her stance on prediction markets, transitioning from a vocal critic warning of gambling risks to an advocate pushing for regulatory relaxation on behalf of Kalshi, a prediction market platform.1
In July 2010, during Senate hearings on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Lincoln cautioned that prediction markets could circumvent gambling laws.1 She specifically warned that event contracts tied to sporting events such as the Super Bowl, Kentucky Derby, and Masters Golf Tournament could easily be constructed for gambling purposes alone, stating: "These contracts would not serve any real commercial purpose—they would just be used for gambling."1
Since 2024, Lincoln's consulting firm has received $480,000 in compensation from Kalshi for lobbying efforts aimed at persuading Congress and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to ease restrictions on event contracts.1 She is currently advocating for the CFTC to permit sports wagering on prediction market platforms.1
