A federal judge has temporarily blocked Minnesota's prediction market ban, allowing Kalshi and Polymarket to continue operating while a legal challenge over federal jurisdiction moves forward.
Polymarket has filed for regulatory approvals to offer margin trading in the U.S., seeking to expand its prediction market platform as rival Kalshi advances its own leveraged trading plans.
A federal judge denied Kalshi's request to block New York's gambling laws, dealing a blow to the prediction market platform's legal fight over sports-event contracts.
Kalshi is reportedly in discussions to raise new funding at a valuation of approximately $40 billion, according to a Financial Times report published on Wednesday.
Kalshi is in early discussions with investment banks regarding a potential initial public offering (IPO), according to a report from The Information.
Kentucky has sued Kalshi, Polymarket, and Coinbase, alleging they run illegal sports betting operations disguised as prediction markets, escalating a legal clash over federal and state gambling jurisdiction.
