Prediction markets are caught in a high-stakes legal battle as the Trump administration pushes for federal control through the CFTC, while states like New York sue platforms like Kalshi, calling them illegal gambling operations.

This clash pits federal power against state jurisdiction, raising urgent questions about fairness, regulation, and conflicts of interest in the rapidly growing world of prediction markets.
