US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Kalshi Sports Contracts Subject to State Gambling Regulation
Odaily News: A panel of judges on the US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that prediction market platform Kalshi's sports event contracts do not constitute swaps, and are therefore subject to state-level gambling regulation rather than US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules.The ruling involves two lawsuits filed by Kalshi against regulatory authorities in Ohio and Tennessee. Kalshi sought injunctions to block the two states from pursuing legal action against it, but the Ohio federal court denied its request, while the Tennessee federal court granted it. (CoinDesk)
