"The Motion requests that the Court temporarily restrain and preliminarily enjoin the State of Arizona's intrusion into the federal government's exclusive authority to regulate derivatives trading on exchanges overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC")."
"Kalshi runs a federally regulated exchange offering event contracts, a type of derivatives product whose value depends on the outcome of specific events. The contracts can cover topics ranging from various categories, and the company argues federal authority trumps Arizona state laws."
Kalshi, a derivatives trading platform, filed an emergency motion in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona requesting a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the Arizona Department of Gaming and state officials. The company contends that Arizona regulators are overstepping into federal territory by attempting to enforce state gambling laws against its federally regulated exchange. Kalshi argues that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission holds exclusive authority to regulate derivatives trading on federally overseen exchanges, making state enforcement actions unconstitutional intrusions. The company requested permission to file a 30-page motion instead of the standard 17-page limit to adequately explain the regulatory framework and legal arguments supporting its emergency relief request.
