Summary
A federal judge rejected Kalshi's bid to block Connecticut from applying its sports betting regulations to the platform's sports prediction markets. The ruling is limited to sports contracts and does not affect elections or news events. This adds to mounting state-level legal pressure, following a Washington state order to halt sports betting and other event contracts. The decision strengthens the argument that sports prediction markets fall under state gambling laws rather than CFTC jurisdiction, potentially limiting Kalshi's product scope in multiple states. Watch for further rulings in New York and other active cases.
