• Bitrue published an industry analysis warning of a US regulatory push that could reshape prediction markets by treating event contracts as swaps under CFTC oversight.
• The analysis says the proposals would explicitly exclude casino-style gambling from the swap definition, leaving sports betting and casino games under state jurisdiction.
• Bitrue highlights rising legal risk for operators such as Kalshi and Polymarket as states pursue suits framing these products as illegal gambling.
• It also points to growing market-integrity scrutiny, citing suspicious trades on Kalshi tied to a White House press secretary appointment that turned $173 in bets into about $9,600.
• Bitrue warns the split between federal derivatives regulation and state gambling authority could escalate into a Supreme Court jurisdiction fight.
