Prediction Markets
Federally regulated by the CFTC. Trade event contracts on an exchange model — separate from state-licensed sportsbooks. Active enforcement: Nevada state court ordered Kalshi to halt sports event contracts on March 20, 2026. Litigation pending in the Ninth Circuit (oral arguments April 16, 2026).
