The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed an emergency motion to temporarily stay a court ruling in favor of prediction platform Kalshi.
- Judge Gia M. Cobb sided with Kalshi, allowing election prediction markets to operate.
- The CFTC had previously banned such contracts, deeming them illegal gambling.
- Kalshi claimed victory, but the CFTC is seeking a 14-day stay to review the ruling.
