Key Summary
Prediction markets' monthly volume reached a record high ahead of the US November midterms, with $71 billion in trades. The US Supreme Court has become involved in a dispute over Kalshi's sports event contracts, with conflicting lower court rulings creating uncertainty. Two groups representing gambling regulators, IAGR and NAGRA, have asked the Supreme Court to intervene, citing the need for clarification on the role of state gambling laws. The dispute centers on whether regulators can apply state laws to the same contracts while related litigation is pending in other jurisdictions, with the state of New Jersey seeking to overturn a ruling in favor of Kalshi and the CFTC.
