Prediction markets closed out Consensus Miami 2026 as the subject of a live debate on whether they are regulated financial derivatives or gambling products operating outside state law.

Prediction markets closed out Consensus Miami 2026 on Thursday as the subject of the conference’s final debate, pitting the CFTC’s position that event contracts are swaps against a growing coalition of state attorneys general who argue the platforms are unlicensed gambling businesses.

The session brought the conference’s policy agenda to a head after three days of regulatory and legislative sessions.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, who attended Consensus for the first time this year, has made the prediction markets jurisdictional fight a defining feature of his tenure.

“We expect these matters to go up to the Supreme Court,” Selig said, as the agency has already sued Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin for attempting to regulate CFTC-registered exchanges under state gambling law.

Why states are pushing back

The core disagreement is structural. Kalshi and Polymarket argue their platforms operate like futures markets, with no house setting odds and no counterparty absorbing all risk.

DraftKings president Paul Liberman acknowledged the consumer experience is identical to sports betting. “For the end user, yes,” he said, “whether they’re putting a bet on the sportsbook or whether they’re doing a trade on the Celtics here, they definitely feel as though it’s the same.”

Wisconsin filed complaints against Kalshi, Polymarket, Coinbase, and Robinhood in April, arguing their contracts meet the state’s legal definition of a bet.

A bipartisan coalition of 41 state attorneys general has separately called for federal clarity on jurisdiction. Senator Marsha Blackburn’s subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for May 20, sitting directly between the Consensus debate and the Senate’s CLAR

CoinGecko Report Shows Tokenized RWAs Surged to $19.3B In Q1 2026
The market for real world assets (RWAs) is really taking off now that big investors are getting involved. CoinGecko latest report shows that tokenized real world assets are worth $19.3 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026. It is one of the most impressive growth stages for blockchain financial products, marking a significant surge.

INSIGHT: RWAs have more than tripled in market cap since 2025 — hitting $19.3B by the end of Q1 2026.

While only 6.4% compared to the size of stablecoins, RWAs growth outpaced stablecoins over the last year, climbing up from 2.7% at the beginning of 2025. pic.twitter.com/pNUDkMPq90

— CoinGecko (@coingecko) May 7, 2026

The report has observed that the number of tokenized offerings of the RWAs has grown by 256.7% within a span of about a year and a half. The sector’s value was $5.42 billion at the start of 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, that number had nearly quadrupled with an increased demand from the crypto native community and traditional financial institutions participating in the tokenization of Treasurys, commodities, stocks, and ETFs.

2025 is a pivotal year for tokenization, according to industry analysts. Early blockchain use cases with asset creation slowly gained traction and scale. This provided institutions with greater clarity for working and more trust in joining the industry.

The regulatory environment around key markets also helped to alleviate uncertainty, enabling companies to bolster their approach to tokenization with the support of institutions.

Tokenized Treasuries Continue Dominating the Sector

Tokenized Treasuries continued to be the biggest asset category during the reporting period. The asset class’s value rose by almost $9B or 225.5% during this period. More than half of the expansion of the entire sector of the business was represented by new treasury-backed products during the period.

Stablecoins evolve from crypto trading tools into global payment infrastructure

Stablecoins are emerging as one of the most closely watched developments in global finance, as banks, payment firms, and technology companies explore blockchain-based alternatives to traditional payment rails.

Once mainly used by traders moving funds between cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border remittances, merchant settlements, treasury management, and machine-to-machine payments.

The shift is happening as businesses seek cheaper alternatives to conventional banking infrastructure, where international transfers can take days to settle and involve multiple intermediaries.

In this articleCoinbase posted lower-than-expected results for the first quarter as crypto prices fell, weighing on one of the companies' major revenue drivers spot trading in digital assets. Here's how Coinbase performed in its quarter ended March 31, compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG: The company, which operates the largest cryptocurrency marketplace in the U.S., posted transaction revenue of $755.8 million versus $805.2 million expected by analysts. Subscription revenue came in at $583.5 million versus $619.3 million expected.Investors were bracing for a sharp slowdown in trading volume given the crypto price slump at the start of the year. Bitcoin rose 12% in March, but posted a 22% decline in the first quarter.Coinbase, known largely for its cryptocurrency trading platform, is trying to diversify its revenue streams through its subscription and services business, which includes revenue from stablecoins and staking. Investors are looking for evidence that Coinbase can still make money when trading dries up. They are also hoping for a progress report on when the company's non-transaction businesses will be large enough to offset the cyclicality of transaction fees during slowdowns.Investors will listen closely for commentary around margins and operating discipline following this week's announcement that Coinbase will cut roughly 14% of its workforce, or 700 jobs. The company pointed to the layoffs as being part of a broader Al-driven restructuring effort, and it also cited the crypto downturn as a driver. The job cuts underscore expectations that subdued trading conditions could persist into the second quarter. Read Coinbase's full shareholder letter here. This story is developing.
