AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

New Jersey filed a petition with the Supreme Court to resolve whether state or federal authorities oversee prediction markets, potentially clarifying regulatory exposure for operators like DraftKings. With circuit splits on the scope of CFTC jurisdiction, the outcome could influence expansion strategies and investor sentiment in the near term. DKNG and Flutter reacted positively, signaling relief on regulatory clarity.

New Jersey asks Supreme Court to decide prediction markets oversight.
3rd Circuit: all event contracts are federal derivatives regulated by CFTC.
Kalshi argues it's a nationwide financial exchange; CFTC jurisdiction preempts state law.
9th Circuit: sports-related event contracts are not CFTC-swaps; NJ petition widens circuit split.
DraftKings and Flutter Entertainment shares rose over 5% following the petition.
