A Nevada state judge has issued a temporary restraining order against Kalshi, siding with state regulators who argue the prediction market operates as unlicensed gambling. The move sets up a high-stakes legal battle over whether federal CFTC oversight preempts state-level gaming regulations.
Arizona has filed a 20-count criminal charging document against prediction market Kalshi, alleging the platform operates an illegal gambling business. The move marks a significant escalation in the jurisdictional battle between state authorities and the federal government over the oversight of multibillion-dollar wagering platforms.
CFTC Chairman Mike Selig has initiated a legal defense of the agency's jurisdiction over event contracts, filing an amicus brief to counter state-level interference.
