CFTC: Warns Kalshi may soon face charges related to new contract reporting issues

According to POLITICO, sources have revealed that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has warned that the prediction market platform Kalshi may soon face charges. The CFTC is investigating whether Kalshi failed to follow the notification procedures required by regulators for dozens of new contracts that are set to be launched, and this investigation has been ongoing for several months.

A spokesperson for Kalshi responded that the CFTC's warning pertains to "procedural errors in the submission process of a few contracts," many of which have not yet gone live, and the company is addressing the related issues. Additionally, the CFTC is also investigating Polymarket.
