Ongoing litigation over whether the CFTC holds exclusive jurisdiction over sports event contracts on prediction market platforms has created conflicting lower court rulings and federalism tensions with state gambling regulators. The Third Circuit recently affirmed CFTC authority in a divided decision, while the Ninth Circuit heard related appeals in April 2026 involving platforms challenging state enforcement actions. A resulting circuit split, combined with amicus participation from dozens of states asserting traditional regulatory authority, increases the likelihood of Supreme Court review. Traders assess the probability of certiorari being granted by year-end based on these procedural developments and the absence of an immediate high-court petition. Upcoming Ninth Circuit rulings and any subsequent certiorari filings remain the primary near-term catalysts.
