Connecticut can’t take action against Kalshi for now, judge rules

Resumen

A US judge has temporarily blocked Connecticut from taking enforcement action against prediction markets platform Kalshi, which received a cease and desist order from the state’s Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) for allegedly conducting unlicensed sports gambling. Kalshi sued the DCP, arguing its event contracts are legal under federal law and fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The court has paused enforcement while it reviews Kalshi’s motion for a preliminary injunction, with further legal proceedings scheduled through February. Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated platform that saw record trading volume in November, is also engaged in similar legal battles with multiple states, including New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada, Maryland, and Ohio, over regulatory jurisdiction and gambling licensing.

A US judge has granted prediction markets platform Kalshi a temporary reprieve from enforcement after the state of Connecticut sent it a cease and desist order last week for allegedly conducting unlicensed gambling.

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) sent Kalshi, along with Robinhood and Crypto.com, cease and desist orders on Dec. 2, accusing them of “conducting unlicensed online gambling, more specifically sports wagering, in Connecticut through its online sports event contracts.”

Kalshi sued the DCP a day later, arguing its event contracts “are lawful under federal law” and its platform was subject to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s “exclusive jurisdiction,” and filed a motion on Friday to temporarily stop the DCP’s action.

Connecticut federal court judge Vernon Oliver said in an order on Monday that the DCP must “refrain from taking enforcement action against Kalshi” as the court considers the company’s bid to temporarily stop the regulator.

The order adds that the DCP should file a response to the company by Jan. 9 and Kalshi should file further support for its motion by Jan. 30, with oral arguments for the case to be held in mid-February.

Kalshi is in a battle with multiple US states

Kalshi is a federally regulated designated contract maker under the CFTC and, in January, began offering contracts nationally that allow bets on the outcome of events such as sports and politics.

Its platform has become hugely popular this year and saw a record $4.54 billion monthly trading volume in November, attracting billions in investments, with Kalshi closing a $1 billion funding round earlier this month at a valuation of $11 billion.

However, multiple US state regulators have taken issue with Kalshi’s offerings, which have led to the company being embroiled in lawsuits over whether it is subject to state-level gambling laws.

Kalshi sued the New York State Gaming Commission in October after the regulator sent a cease and desist order claiming it offered a platform for sports wagering without a license.

In September, Massachusetts’ state attorney general sued Kalshi in state court, which the company asked to be tossed. So far this year, Kalshi has sued state regulators in New Jersey, Nevada, Maryland and Ohio, accusing each of regulatory overreach.

Strategy CEO Highlights Scenarios Where Company Would Sell Bitcoin — Report

Strategy CEO Phong Le outlined potential scenarios for the company to sell portions of its massive Bitcoin holdings, a departure from its "Never Sell" philosophy. In a CNBC interview, Le stated sales could occur to finance dividend payments for its Perpetual Preferred Stock if doing so increases shareholder value, defined as a rise in "Bitcoin per share." He emphasized a data-driven approach, prioritizing math over ideology. Other reasons include when the company's book value is below market value or to capture tax benefits. As the largest corporate holder with 818,334 BTC (~$65 billion), Strategy has significant annual dividend obligations (~$1.5 billion). Le believes the Bitcoin market's high liquidity (~$60B daily volume) can absorb such sales without major price impact. Bitcoin currently trades around $80,840.

Crypto Funds See Six Consecutive Weeks of Net Inflows, CLARITY Act Drives $858 Million Influx

Global cryptocurrency investment products recorded a net inflow of $857.9 million last week, marking the sixth consecutive week of positive flows and the largest single-week inflow since April 24, according to CoinShares' latest report. The primary catalyst was legislative progress on the U.S. CLARITY Act, specifically the final compromise text for stablecoin yield provisions, alongside Bitcoin's price breaking above $80,000. U.S.-listed products dominated with $776.6 million in inflows, a significant jump from the prior week's $47.5 million. European markets also saw increased participation. Bitcoin products led with $706.1 million in inflows, while short-Bitcoin products experienced their largest weekly outflow of 2026, indicating unwinding bearish positions. Major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and XRP all saw renewed positive flows, with Ethereum reversing its prior week's outflow to attract $77.1 million. Total assets under management (AUM) climbed to $160 billion.

Silicon Valley Wang Chuan: How Can You Not Feel Anxious When the Neighbor Lao Wang Earned 30x by Investing in Storage Stocks?

The author explores anxiety, attributing it to the amygdala's stress response, and suggests writing down worries to shift control to the rational prefrontal cortex, easing anxiety more effectively than mere reassurance. The piece then examines a source of financial anxiety in May 2026: a 150% surge in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, with storage stock SNDK skyrocketing 38x. The author analyzes the underlying logic behind this boom, tracing it to soaring valuations of AI startups like Anthropic (Anth). Anth's reported $400 billion ARR is scrutinized, revealing that cumulative revenue since founding is only about $108 billion, with the company still losing billions monthly and relying on continuous funding (having raised $723 billion). The author contrasts Anth's $1+ trillion valuation speculation with Berkshire Hathaway's fundamentals ($3.7 trillion revenue, $669 billion profit, $4 trillion cash, $1 trillion market cap), questioning the belief that a loss-making, funding-dependent startup could be worth more than the established giant. The narrative concludes by linking the massive valuations of Anth and OpenAI to a surge in AI industry capital expenditure (capex), which in turn fueled the storage sector's prosperity, setting the stage for a further discussion.

The King of Blind Date Attire in Korea: How SK Hynix Made a Comeback Against Samsung?

In South Korea's dating scene, SK Hynix employees are now highly sought after, a status shift fueled by the company's astronomical profits and employee bonuses, projected to reach up to 6.1 million RMB per person by 2027. This marks a dramatic reversal for the long-time second-place player in memory semiconductors, which has now surpassed its rival Samsung in annual operating profit. The turnaround story began in 2008 when a struggling Hynix, emerging from bankruptcy restructuring, took a risky bet by agreeing to develop High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) with AMD. At the time, HBM had no clear market beyond high-end graphics cards and was a costly, complex technology. Major players like Samsung, pursuing its own HMC technology, declined. For Hynix, with only memory as its core business, it was a gamble born of necessity. The pivotal moment came in 2012 when SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won acquired Hynix. Defying industry downturns, he invested heavily in R&D and fabrication, sustaining the HBM project through over a decade of commercial uncertainty and internal challenges. A key break occurred around 2016-2017 when Samsung faced production issues supplying HBM2 for Google's TPU, allowing SK Hynix to gain a crucial foothold in the data center market. The AI explosion post-ChatGPT in 2022 was the catalyst, turning HBM into a critical bottleneck for AI accelerators like NVIDIA's GPUs. By 2025, SK Hynix captured 62% of the global HBM market, leaving Samsung at 17%. For the first time, its annual operating profit exceeded Samsung's. Analysts point to the "innovator's dilemma" to explain Samsung's miss: its vast, successful business portfolio made it risk-averse, preventing an all-in bet on the initially niche HBM technology. In contrast, SK Hynix, as a challenger with its back against the wall, had no choice but to commit fully. The story highlights how Korea's chaebol system allows for ultra-long-term bets beyond quarterly pressures. However, SK Hynix's lead isn't guaranteed. Samsung is aggressively catching up on HBM4, and challenges like customer concentration (heavy reliance on NVIDIA) and technical hurdles in advanced packaging remain. The narrative underscores a market truth: the greatest alpha often comes from betting on uncertain, long-term directions others dismiss, much like HBM in 2008.

US Stock Storage Fever Spreads to Crypto for the Third Time, VVV Leads 'AI Data Infrastructure' Sector Gains

U.S. stock storage rally spreads to crypto for the third time, with VVV leading the 'AI data infrastructure' sector. On May 11, Venice Token (VVV) surged 17.63% with $65.05M volume, followed by Chainbase, SQD, and Vana, rising 5-8%. This mirrors gains in U.S. storage stocks like SanDisk and Micron. The crypto AI narrative is shifting. The initial wave (May 6-7) saw pure storage tokens like FIL, AR, and STORJ rise, driven by spillover from the U.S. storage chip boom. The second wave saw broader DePIN sector gains. The current third wave has moved beyond pure storage to broader "AI infrastructure." VVV, a decentralized AI inference platform, leads due to its own catalysts like a token burn mechanism and partnership news, alongside the broader market trend. Notably, traditional storage tokens showed minimal gains (<4%) on May 11, indicating the rally is becoming more selective, focusing on projects with specific narratives like AI data or compute. The pattern suggests the sector rally may be in a later stage, with sustainability depending on whether the U.S. storage chip boom continues.
