Kalshi Cleared to Offer Congressional Prediction Markets in Victory Against CFTC
Briefly

"We did it! U.S. election markets are coming to Kalshi." This statement reflects Kalshi's excitement about being able to participate in the upcoming election betting markets, following a favorable decision from the court.
"The Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment ... and DENIES Defendant's cross motion for summary judgment." The ruling strongly favored Kalshi, overturning the CFTC's previous restrictions on their operation.
"Proponents say prediction markets beat polls and pundits as a method of forecasting events... because participants have skin in the game and so are incentivized to make accurate predictions." This captures the essence of what makes prediction markets appealing over traditional polling.
"Last year, the CFTC forbade Kalshi from listing the Congressional control contracts... calling the regulator's decision 'arbitrary [and] capricious.'" This illustrates Kalshi's legal battle and the rationale behind their challenge to the CFTC.
