Kalshi court losses pile up as judges refuse to block state gambling laws
摘要
Kalshi在联邦法院接连受挫，两家巡回上诉法院拒绝其阻止康涅狄格州、纽约州和内华达州赌博法适用的请求，阿肯色州总检察长另对其提起诉讼。核心争议在于州赌博法是否适用于预测市场，Kalshi主张其产品属于仅受美国商品期货交易委员会监管的“互换”合约。阿肯色州总检察长表示，州法律关注实质而非语义，未经监管平台上的赌博被该州法律明确禁止。
Kalshi is having a bad week in the federal court system. Two circuit appeals courts rejected the prediction market's latest attempts to block state gambling laws in Connecticut, New York, and Nevada. Kalshi is separately facing a new lawsuit filed by the Arkansas attorney general.
In all cases involving Kalshi and state governments around the US, the main issue is whether state gambling laws apply to prediction markets despite Kalshi's claim that its platform offers "swaps" that can only be regulated by the US Commodity Futures Exchange (CFTC). The Trump administration is on Kalshi's side, with Donald Trump Jr. serving as an advisor to Kalshi in exchange for a generous equity deal.
"Kalshi insists that its products are not gambling," but "Arkansas law is concerned with substance, not semantics," Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said yesterday when announcing his lawsuit against Kalshi. Kalshi's prediction market lets customers "wager money on the outcome of just about anything" despite the fact that "gambling on an unregulated platform is squarely prohibited by Arkansas law," he said.
