The CFTC sued Louisiana on Friday, seeking to block a state judge’s order banning 31 prediction markets in the state.
Those named in the ban include Kalshi and Polymarket. The phrase “consensus standard bearer” was used by Louisiana’s attorney general when addressing the CFTC chair after the lawsuit. The Block reported on the head-on clash between a federal agency and state-level enforcement.
· What’s confirmed: The lawsuit has been filed, and the ban covers 31 platforms. Whether federal regulators can overturn the state judge’s order remains unanswered.
· The state attorney general’s public use of disparaging language to refer to the CFTC chair shows that the dispute is about more than legal procedure—it also involves who has jurisdiction.
