As a technology entrepreneur developing AI-driven solutions for financial services, I recognize the transformative potential of predictive markets in enhancing algorithmic trading strategies and risk management frameworks. If Kalshi had election contracts, it would provide valuable data points for refining predictive models, optimizing investment decisions, and managing market volatility. These contracts would enable fintech innovators like myself to innovate responsibly and leverage predictive analytics to benefit investors and financial institutions. The CFTC's decision to restrict these markets impedes technological progress and limits opportunities for advancing AI applications in finance. If the comment period were extended, stakeholders in fintech and AI development would have more time to advocate for the inclusion of these markets as essential tools for fostering market efficiency, transparency, and innovation. This would mean that regulatory decisions support technological advancements that drive economic growth, enhance financial stability, and promote inclusive access to innovative financial services.
