Kalshi and co-founders charged with felonies under Utah gambling laws

Original: Kalshi and its co-founders face felony charges for violating Utah gambling laws

Prediction market operator Kalshi and its co-founders are facing felony charges in Utah for allegedly violating the state's gambling laws. The case escalates a national dispute over whether event contracts are legal trading instruments or unlicensed gambling, and comes as the Trump administration has sued Utah to overturn its total ban, seeking to protect Kalshi from state enforcement.

Why now: The criminal charges against a major prediction market, plus the unusual federal lawsuit against a state to defend it, raise major questions about regulation of prediction markets.
