A federal appeals court split has emerged over whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission holds exclusive jurisdiction under the Commodity Exchange Act to regulate sports event contracts—binary prediction markets on outcomes like game winners—preempting state gambling laws. On April 6, the Third Circuit upheld a preliminary injunction for platform Kalshi against New Jersey regulators in a 2-1 ruling, classifying such contracts as regulated swaps and marking the first appellate decision favoring federal preemption; this contrasts with prior district court losses for platforms elsewhere. No qualifying certiorari petitions have been filed yet, with 90 days from circuit judgments to petition SCOTUS. Traders weigh low near-term odds for Supreme Court review by July amid procedural timelines, with potential shifts from upcoming Ninth and Fourth Circuit rulings expected in spring 2026.

A case qualifies if it addresses at least one of the following: (1) whether contracts based on sporting event outcomes constitute regulated derivatives under the Commodity Exchange Act; (2) whether federal regulation via the Commodity Futures Trading Commission preempts state-level gambling laws as applied to such contracts; or (3) whether sports event contracts offered by federally licensed markets may legally be offered, restricted, or prohibited by federal or state authorities.
The certiorari grant must be publicly confirmed via the official SCOTUS docket or orders list, and verifiable through credible legal reporting or the Supreme Court’s official website. The case does not need to be heard, scheduled, or decided to qualify.
The resolution source will be a consensus census of credible reporting.
