The CFTC has ordered Kalshi to continue operating its prediction markets in New York, despite a lawsuit filed by the New York Attorney General. The CFTC's order comes amid a broader legal battle over the legality of prediction markets. Kalshi has also brought in a former U.S. solicitor general to defend its operations in Washington state, where a similar case is escalating.

Utah is also involved, defending its gambling laws as Kalshi seeks protection during an appeal. The New York Daily News has criticized the state's approach to prediction markets, suggesting that New York may be misinterpreting the legal landscape. The Salt Lake Tribune has also weighed in, questioning whether Utah should block Kalshi entirely.

The legal disputes involve multiple states and federal regulators, with varying interpretations of gambling laws and their application to prediction markets. Kalshi's operations are at the center of these debates, as the company seeks to navigate the complex legal environment.
