4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi prices 45% on crypto market structure legislation becoming law by 2027, resolves via White House.
Lummis's urgency framing is not matched by a majority-odds market; the 45% price reflects genuine legislative doubt despite momentum.
The CFTC approving the first US Bitcoin perpetual contract (Story 30) adds regulatory context suggesting incremental crypto legitimization without full legislative resolution.
Resolves via White House confirmation of presidential signature on qualifying crypto market structure legislation before the 2027 deadline.
