Supreme Court Weighs in on Sports Prediction Markets Regulation

New Jersey's attorney general has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to settle a dispute over whether sports-related prediction markets are gambling products or federally regulated swaps.

The case, which has been building for over a year, could determine whether platforms like Kalshi can operate nationwide under a single federal framework or if they need to comply with state laws in every jurisdiction.

At stake is the classification of prediction markets as either gambling products subject to state law or federally regulated swaps overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
