Kalshi, in a gesture worthy of a modern-day epic-if epics were written by accountants with a flair for drama-has unleashed an artificial intelligence to divine which prediction markets should bloom next. And as if stirred by some cosmic joke, trading on the platform has surged past $5 billion in a single week, like a river swollen by spring thaw and human impatience.

Federal regulators challenge state enforcement efforts
Prediction markets remain embroiled in a regulatory tug-of-war. The CFTC has proposed new rules while defending federally regulated exchanges against state-level enforcement attempts. It is a drama worthy of a Pasternak novel-if Pasternak had been deeply invested in commodities law.
In a recent lawsuit, the CFTC challenged New Mexico officials over attempts to apply state gaming laws to federally regulated prediction markets. The agency insists that event contracts on CFTC‑registered exchanges fall under federal oversight. One imagines the paperwork alone could fill a small library.
This follows New Mexico’s earlier lawsuit against Kalshi, accusing the platform of offering unlicensed sports betting and allowing 18‑ to 20‑year‑olds to participate despite the state’s minimum gambling age of 21. The dispute continues, fueled by legal arguments, youthful optimism, and perhaps a dash of bureaucratic exasperation.
