CFTC warns Kalshi of imminent charges over contract notifications, CoinTelegraph reports

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has warned prediction market operator Kalshi that it faces imminent charges over how it notified the agency about certain contracts today, according to CoinTelegraph. The move could reshape how event contracts are listed in the United States at a moment when prediction markets are drawing heightened regulatory scrutiny. It also raises new uncertainty for traders and platforms pushing to expand permissible political and economic event markets.

CoinTelegraph, citing Politico, reports Kalshi characterized the matter as procedural errors affecting only a handful of contracts, many of which were not live. The reported warning centers on notification requirements around contract listings, the outlet says. Watch for a formal CFTC filing, any response from Kalshi, and whether the action spills into the broader fight over political event contracts and prediction platforms. [Developing.
