Kalshi Files Application with CFTC for Gold-Linked Perpetual Futures
According to market sources: Prediction market platform Kalshi has filed an application with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to launch gold-linked perpetual futures.
Movement blockchain developer Movement Labs has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The project was previously under scrutiny over a market-making agreement that allowed for the rapid sale of 66 million MOVE tokens, which subsequently led to a sharp price decline and triggered investigations and token buybacks.
Movement Labs recently pivoted to cross-border payments and stablecoin settlement services. The future arrangements for its blockchain network, partnerships, and payment expansion plans during the Chapter 11 process remain unclear, but operations can continue during the restructuring period.
SpaceX to Release Q2 2026 Earnings Report on August 4
SpaceX announced on the X platform that it will release its second quarter 2026 financial and operational results on August 4, 2026.
According to SpaceX's IPO prospectus rules, two days after the company releases its Q2 2026 earnings report, eligible internal shareholders' shares will begin to unlock.
This means the countdown to the SpaceX stock unlock event has begun, with the first major unlock occurring on August 6. This will unlock early shares representing 8% of the total share capital (20% of the early lock-up pool). If the stock price rises 30% above the IPO price and meets this standard for 5 out of 10 trading days, an additional 10% can be unlocked, meaning the maximum unlockable shares on August 6 could reach 12%.
In addition to August 6, before the release of SpaceX's Q3 2026 earnings report, 2.8% of shares will unlock on August 21, September 10, September 25, October 12, and October 26, respectively.

Washington State Court Issues Preliminary Injunction Against Kalshi
According to Daniel Wallach, a Washington state court issued a preliminary injunction against Kalshi, ruling that its operations violate Washington state gambling laws and constitute illegal activity; it also stated that the Commodity Exchange Act does not override state-level laws.
In response, a Kalshi public relations representative stated that individual US states lack the jurisdiction to regulate prediction markets, and that multiple courts, including the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, have clarified this legal boundary through relevant precedents. Kalshi expressed disappointment that Washington state continues to allocate public financial resources to pursue related regulatory actions, arguing that the regulatory authority for prediction markets should reside at the federal level.
