New York Files $36 Billion Lawsuit Against Kalshi Over Gambling Claims

New York has filed a lawsuit against Kalshi, claiming the prediction market operates as an 'illegal gambling operation' with a demand for $36 billion in damages. This action follows failed talks aimed at regulating Kalshi's market practices. The lawsuit underscores state concerns over the legality of prediction markets and could lead to significant consequences for Kalshi's operations.
