The CFTC won a temporary restraining order preventing Arizona from pursuing its criminal case against prediction market platform Kalshi, establishing federal preemption over state-level crypto and prediction market regulation. This is a landmark ruling for the prediction market industry, which has been navigating a patchwork of state gambling laws. Binance simultaneously launched its own prediction markets the same week, signaling that major crypto exchanges see the regulatory tide turning in favor of prediction markets.
