CME lawsuit challenges Kalshi's Bitcoin leverage push CME Group filed a federal lawsuit on June 18, 2026, challenging the CFTC's approval of Kalshi's bitcoin perpetual futures contract, arguing the product should be regulated as a swap rather than a futures contract under the Commodity Exchange Act and Dodd-Frank. The complaint, Case 1:26-cv-02157, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It targets both the CFTC's May 29 order approving KalshiEX's BTCPERP contract and an accompanying policy statement on perpetual contracts published in the Federal Register on June 3. The approved BTCPERP product is cash-settled, references the CF Benchmarks Bitcoin Real Time Index, trades around the clock seven days a week, and uses periodic funding payments to track spot bitcoin. Each contract unit represents 1/10,000 of one bitcoin.
