Kalshi, a prediction market, has been banned from allowing betting on its own case. This decision came after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals deemed Kalshi's operations as gambling rather than prediction markets. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case, with New Jersey asking the Court to resolve the dispute over Kalshi's future.

This move suggests that Kalshi is taking a cautious approach as it awaits the Supreme Court's decision. The case has significant implications for the prediction market industry, with Kalshi's operations being a key test of the federal law governing the sector. The Supreme Court's decision on Kalshi's case will have far-reaching implications for the prediction market industry.

The Court will need to determine whether Kalshi's operations constitute gambling or prediction markets. The outcome of the case will likely set a precedent for other prediction markets, potentially altering the regulatory landscape for the industry.
