Background on Kalshi

Kalshi is the first CFTC-regulated US exchange for event contracts, which is why it can list markets nationally as financial instruments rather than as state-licensed bets. That same structure is what some state regulators are challenging for sports. For more, see is Kalshi legit? and the full state-by-state tracker.
