Attorneys General of 44 U.S. states sent a joint letter to the CFTC, questioning whether it has the authority to regulate sports prediction markets.
Attorneys general from 44 U.S. states have jointly sent a letter to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), arguing that the CFTC lacks jurisdiction over sports event prediction markets, and urging it to withdraw its current proposed rules and draft new regulations that comply with the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the U.S. Constitution. The letter notes that sports betting has long been regulated by individual U.S. states, while the CFTC’s proposed rules would significantly expand federal regulatory authority beyond its statutory mandate. Recently, the CFTC has been embroiled in legal disputes in multiple states over regulatory authority for sports event contracts with prediction market platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket. Currently, U.S. state courts have taken inconsistent stances on the issue. A Minnesota state court this week temporarily blocked the enforcement of a local prediction market ban, allowing Kalshi and Polymarket to continue operating during the litigation period; while a New York state court again refused to halt the application of local gambling-related laws to Kalshi, and Michigan and Washington states have also successively restricted Kalshi’s provision of sports event prediction contracts.

Altura: $21.88 million held in its bank accounts has been temporarily frozen, halting its plan to purchase USDT.
On-chain yield platform Altura announced that its plan to purchase USDT using fiat funds from its bank account via an over-the-counter (OTC) partner has been blocked, as the account holding the funds was temporarily frozen by the bank. A screenshot shows the frozen amount is approximately ￡16.446 million, equivalent to around $21.88 million. Altura said it has communicated with the bank on the matter, which has asked the project to wait for the completion of its review, noting it will reach out if additional materials are needed. The situation is entirely out of Altura’s control, and the project is awaiting further updates from the bank.
Altura also announced it will suspend community chat functions due to limited team resources, to focus on addressing the current issue. The project pledged to share timely updates on developments via its official X account, Telegram channel, and Discord, while urging the community to avoid speculation until official confirmation is received.
Earlier reports noted that Altura announced on June 22 it would orderly close its Altura vault due to a surge in withdrawals, with plans to convert the funds to USDT via an OTC partner before reopening redemptions.
