美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）根据Kalshi交易所提出的紧急通知，行使紧急权力命令该交易所继续运营[1]。此前纽约州司法部长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯于7月31日提起诉讼，寻求临时限制令禁止Kalshi提供事件合约，并索赔超360亿美元[1]。
CFTC主席迈克尔·塞利格表示，纽约州不应在州博彩法框架下对跨州金融衍生品交易所进行监管，指出纽约"打算在其州博彩法的铁幕下让事件合约衍生品消亡"，强调CFTC有义务维护这些市场秩序[1]。CFTC已对亚利桑那州、康涅狄格州、伊利诺伊州、肯塔基州、明尼苏达州、新墨西哥州、纽约州、罗德岛州和威斯康星州提起诉讼[1]。
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) invoked emergency powers to order prediction market exchange Kalshi to continue its operations following the company's notice of a market emergency [1]. The directive came in response to legal action filed by New York State Attorney General Letitia James on July 31, seeking a temporary restraining order to prohibit Kalshi from offering event contracts and claiming damages exceeding $36 billion [1].
CFTC Chair Michael Selig stated that New York should not regulate interstate financial derivatives exchanges under its state gambling framework, emphasizing that the CFTC bears responsibility for maintaining order in these markets [1]. Selig characterized the state's position, saying New York "intends to let event contract derivatives die under the iron curtain of its state gambling law" [1]. The CFTC has also filed lawsuits against nine states—Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin—over their regulation of prediction markets [1].
