# TrumpBacksCFTCAuthorityOverPredictionMarkets

815.32K

On May 26, Trump posted on Truth Social, explicitly supporting CFTC's exclusive authority over prediction markets, calling it "critically important." He also called out state officials in Minnesota, Illinois and other states, saying they cannot be allowed to "make the rules." Trump emphasized that other countries are pursuing this new form of financial market and the US must stay ahead. The CFTC has filed lawsuits against several states seeking to ban prediction markets, with the dispute likely heading to the Supreme Court.

"We're Going to Be the Crypto Capital"
#CFTC Chair Mike Selig said it plainly after the vote. America just took its biggest step toward owning the global digital asset industry .

The CFTC just sued New York and Wisconsin for trying to ban prediction markets, claiming "exclusive authority" over the space. This isn't just a legal fight; it’s a war for the future of decentralized betting. If the states win, your favorite "Alpha" platforms could be geo-blocked overnight. As a dev, I respect the CFTC’s move to protect the technical infrastructure from fragmented state laws. This is the spicy regulatory drama that will define the 2026 trading landscape. Watch this space. #CFTC #PredictionMarkets #CryptoLaw #Polymarket

The decision means the contested regulatory restrictions will remain in place while the broader legal battle continues.
Kalshi had sought the injunction to temporarily block enforcement actions that could limit certain event-based contracts on its platform. The company argues that prediction markets offer valuable economic insights and operate within a lawful fra
