Washington Judge Blocks Kalshi Sports Prediction Markets

Prediction markets are facing fresh legal pressure in the U.S.

A Washington state judge has blocked Kalshi's sports prediction markets, ruling that the contracts violate state gambling laws. The decision marks another setback for event-based trading platforms as regulators continue to debate whether these markets should be treated as financial products or gambling.

The ruling could influence how prediction markets expand across the U.S., especially as interest in event-driven trading continues to grow.
