Kalshi has initiated a lawsuit against New York, claiming that federal authority over derivatives takes precedence over state gambling laws. The company is contesting the state’s decision to shut down its sports prediction markets. Kalshi argues that its markets fall under federal jurisdiction, which should override state regulations concerning gambling. This legal action highlights the ongoing tension between state and federal authorities regarding the regulation of emerging financial products and markets. Kalshi’s lawsuit seeks to clarify the legal standing of its operations and potentially reinstate its sports prediction markets, which have faced regulatory challenges in New York.
