Kalshi is in advanced CFTC talks to launch gold perpetual futures after hitting $16.1 billion in crypto perpetuals volume since its May 2026

Washington judge blocks Kalshi sports event contracts, ruling state gambling laws apply despite the platform’s federal CFTC registration.

Polymarket commands 93% of political prediction market volume with $507M weekly, dwarfing Kalshi's $16.8M, but a CFTC investigation looms over its

This week’s crypto storylines mixed balance-sheet stress, regulation, venture hindsight, geopolitics, and macro sentiment. Michael Saylor built a $3 billion cash buffer around Strategy’s bitcoin stack, the CFTC backed Kalshi in its Michigan fight, and Tim Draper reflected on missing Coinbase before later joining the ride. Trump’s Iran remarks rattled oil and bitcoin, while Larry […]

More than a dozen speeches are alleged, but no cited report dates the first alert, restriction, or CFTC referral.

SEC-CFTC Commodity Stance Faces Its First Real Political Stress Test is worth covering because it sits inside one of crypto’s live conversations rather than floating as a standalone headline. The market has been dealing

Washington has spent a year arguing about which agency should regulate a $2.2 trillion market. Nobody checked whether that agency has anyone in the building. It has one person, four empty chairs, and a plan involving artificial intelligence. For a…

A former CFTC commissioner urged lawmakers not to “kill all the hard work that we put in the rest of the bill” by making ethics a make-or-break issue on crypto market structure.

The regulator stayed a Kalshi rule change and invoked emergency authority, calling the first state attempt to void executed derivatives trades unprecedented.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has stopped Kalshi from liquidating sports event contracts that a Michigan court ordered cancelled and refunded. The intervention leaves Michigan’s restriction on new sports trades intact while opening a direct federal-state confrontation over who controls transactions already executed on a regulated derivatives exchange. Federal order protects completed trades, not new […]

CFTC has ordered Kalshi to keep operating in Michigan despite the platform already unwinding sports event trades to comply with a state court order, deepening the dispute over who regulates prediction markets in the U.S. According to a July 14…

“We are disappointed by this decision and believe it is unfair to Kalshi,” the company’s legal counsel said on X.

The CFTC's stance underscores federal authority over state interference, potentially shaping future regulatory frameworks for prediction markets.

The CFTC has blocked Kalshi's proposed trade cancellations and ordered the exchange to fulfil executed contracts involving Michigan residents.

Jurisdiction over prediction market platforms is an ongoing dispute between the CFTC and multiple state regulators.
