US court rules against Kalshi, says states can regulate prediction markets
Part of NewsAgo’s Global Markets coverage.
NewsAgo briefing
The clear picture
What happened
The Hill reports that the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Kalshi, determining that states can regulate prediction-market platforms like gambling.
Latest development
Al Jazeera adds that U.S. appeals courts have varied in their treatment of prediction-market regulation, creating a potential path toward U.S. Supreme Court review.
Why it matters
The 6th Circuit ruling leaves Kalshi and comparable platforms exposed to state gambling-style regulation within that circuit. Divergent appellate treatment identified by Al Jazeera could make the governing legal standard depend on jurisdiction unless the Supreme Court intervenes.

The big question
Will the U.S. Supreme Court take up prediction-market regulation to resolve differing appellate-court approaches?
It does not report a petition, a grant of review, or a Supreme Court timetable.
What happens next
- Any Kalshi filing seeking U.S. Supreme Court review of the 6th Circuit decision.
- State regulatory action against Kalshi or other prediction-market platforms following the 6th Circuit ruling.
Bottom line
The material indicates a jurisdictionally consequential 6th Circuit loss for Kalshi, while the reported appellate variation—not the ruling alone—is the fact that could elevate the dispute into a national precedent fight.
