On July 15, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) ordered the prediction market platform Kalshi to fulfill all trading contracts involving Michigan residents, directly challenging a previous court ruling from the state that called for the cessation of related trades. About two weeks prior, a Michigan court ordered Kalshi to stop offering prediction contracts related to sporting events and required the cancellation of certain executed trades. However, the CFTC made it clear that state governments do not have the authority to interfere with market transactions that fall under federal regulation. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated firmly in a statement: 'State governments cannot force contract markets to violate federal obligations, and federal law does not permit discrimination against residents of any state. Canceling executed trades is an unprecedented and dangerous move that could trigger a market chain reaction and undermine the certainty of contracts, which is a cornerstone of market operation.' Currently, the CFTC is engaged in direct confrontations with several states over the jurisdiction of prediction markets, having filed lawsuits against Connecticut, Illinois, and New York in an attempt to clarify the regulatory authority granted to federal agencies by Congress. This power struggle between federal and state authorities may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
