Wisconsin Joins Regulatory Battle Over Prediction Markets, Sues Platforms Such as Kalshi and Polymarket

2 hours ago

April 24 Per CoinDesk, prediction market platforms have long claimed their products are financial instruments—not gambling—but Wisconsin disagrees. In a recent lawsuit targeting Kalshi, Coinbase, Polymarket, Robinhood and Crypto.com, the state cited the firms’ own marketing materials to label them unauthorized gambling sites. “Masking illegal activity behind a flimsy facade does not make it legal,” Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said in a Thursday statement. The core of the lawsuits is straightforward: Are the contracts regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as financial instruments, or classified as gambling activities subject to state gambling laws? The outcome will decide whether the fast-growing market is overseen by uniform federal rules or split among U.S. states, with regulation falling to local gambling bodies. The dispute is all but certain to end up before the Supreme Court.
