Odaily Planet Daily News Kalshi originally planned to cancel prediction market trades made by Michigan customers according to a court order, but the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission intervened, stating that Michigan has no authority over these contracts. The CFTC prevented the company from complying with the court order, which stemmed from Michigan's recent attempt to halt sports trading. Michigan's Attorney General claimed the trades constitute illegal gambling. Michigan is one of several states defending the derivatives regulator's legal authority over prediction markets.
