⚖️ Prediction Markets Case Heads to US Supreme Court
New Jersey has officially filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in its ongoing legal battle against Kalshi. This move brings the debate over the legality of election betting and prediction markets to the highest court in the United States.
The case centers on whether Kalshi, a regulated exchange, can legally offer contracts on political outcomes. New Jersey is challenging previous rulings that allowed these markets to operate during the 2024 election cycle.
The Supreme Court decision will set a massive precedent for the entire industry, including decentralized platforms like Polymarket. If the court rules against the markets, it could lead to stricter federal restrictions on prediction trading across the crypto ecosystem.

⚖️ US Lawmakers Urge Supreme Court to Rule on Kalshi Prediction Markets
The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) has filed an amicus brief with the US Supreme Court, supporting New Jersey’s push to regulate the prediction market platform Kalshi. This legal battle centers on whether individual states or federal agencies like the CFTC have jurisdiction over event contracts.
Lawmakers argue that if Kalshi operates outside state regulation, it could undermine existing gaming laws and cause substantial harm. They claim that allowing federal preemption would leave states powerless to oversee betting activities on these platforms, potentially forcing a total reconsideration of state regulatory regimes.
