## Resource

States are locked in a legal tug-of-war with prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, arguing over whether these platforms are gambling or commodity trading — with lawmakers claiming they skirt sports betting laws while companies push for CFTC oversight. As lawsuits fly and new laws emerge, the battle pits state regulators against national regulators, raising stakes around insider trading, consumer safety, and problem gambling. Tribal casinos are also watching closely, as the outcome could reshape gaming revenue. With the Supreme Court potentially stepping in, the industry’s future hinges on striking a balance: innovation without exploitation.
