CFTC vs. New Mexico
Good morning, and welcome to our prediction markets live blog.
It's shaping up to be another busy week for Kalshi. Over the weekend, the CFTC sued New Mexico, escalating the growing legal battle over sports event contracts and prediction markets.
At the heart of the dispute is who gets to regulate these markets. The CFTC argues that federal law gives it exclusive authority over exchanges it regulates, including Kalshi. New Mexico, meanwhile, contends that Kalshi's sports-related contracts amount to illegal gambling under state law.
