La CFTC de EE. UU. ha presentado una moción de emergencia para evitar que el mercado de predicción Kalshi lance contratos electorales en las próximas dos semanas.

Golden Finance reported that, after winning a lawsuit against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on the prediction market platform Kalshi, the US CFTC filed an emergency motion, trying to prevent Kalshi from launching election contracts within two weeks, while the agency is handling its appeal. The CFTC believes that, after self-certifying the contracts on Monday and waiting for one working day as required, Kalshi may start trading regulated election contracts as early as Tuesday morning. The CFTC is concerned that if the contracts start trading, the CFTC's ability to stop trading or otherwise enforce the contracts is extremely limited. Anteriormente, la plataforma regulada de mercado de predicción Kalshi ganó su caso legal con la CFTC, que involucra si Kalshi puede ofrecer predicciones sobre las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos. Kalshi solo opera en Estados Unidos y cada contrato de predicción lanzado en su plataforma debe ser aprobado o revisado por la CFTC.
