Kalshi had a brutal week. Sued by Michigan over sports event contracts, hit with a restraining order, then rescued by a CFTC emergency power invoked only four times in the agency’s history.
Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le trace how a state lawsuit turned into a federalism fight bound for the Supreme Court, why Kalshi also pulled its flight cancellation contracts under public backlash, and the insider-trading allegation swirling around a Trump teleprompter operator.
