According to The Block, SEC Chair Paul Atkins on June 16 defended CFTC Chair Michael Selig's capability to oversee prediction markets and crypto during a CNBC interview, stating Selig is "highly capable" despite the significant resource gap between the two agencies. CFTC is requesting a $410 million budget and has approximately 550 employees for fiscal year 2027, compared to SEC's approximately $1.908 billion budget and over 4,000 employees. The CFTC has recently advanced regulatory oversight of prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi, and is expected to gain greater federal oversight authority in the crypto industry.
