#CFTCOrdersKalshiToKeepOperating 🚨 CFTC ORDERS KALSHI TO KEEP OPERATING
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has used its emergency authority to direct prediction-market platform Kalshi to continue operating in New York amid an escalating legal battle with the state.
🇺🇸 New York has been challenging Kalshi’s sports-related prediction markets, arguing that they amount to unlicensed gambling under state law. Kalshi maintains that its event contracts are federally regulated financial products under CFTC jurisdiction.
⚖️ The CFTC’s latest move intensifies the broader state-vs-federal regulatory battle over prediction markets. The agency says Kalshi, as a federally registered designated contract market, should continue performing its exchange functions under the Commodity Exchange Act’s core principles.
📈 The decision could have major implications for Kalshi, prediction markets, sports-event contracts and the future relationship between federal derivatives regulation and state gambling laws.
🔥 BIG QUESTION: Can a state shut down a federally regulated prediction market, or does federal CFTC authority take priority?
