AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Prediction Markets in the Spotlight: Kalshi and Polymarket are posting record World Cup volumes—Kalshi topped $31B in June and Polymarket hit $3.9B on its “World Cup Winner” market—but legality is shaky, with state felony bans and court fights raising the stakes for anyone trading in Rhode Island and beyond. Rhode Island Grocery Competition: A new RI law (S2644) signed last week targets “scorched earth” deed restrictions that can block new grocery stores and worsen food deserts, after Woonsocket’s experience helped spur the change. Independence Day, Weather and Politics: As America marks its 250th, severe storms forced an evacuation of Washington’s National Mall while President Trump said his speech will happen “no matter what.” Local Housing/Real Estate: Compass Providence announced a record Pawtucket sale—144 Marbury Street in Oak Hill for $1.31M—highlighting continued demand in Rhode Island’s market. Sports in Rhode Island: Boston Legacy FC returned from a break and battled Bay FC to a 2-2 draw at Centreville Bank Stadium.
