The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating Kalshi to determine if the platform followed proper procedures when self-certifying certain event contracts. According to Kalshi, the inquiry specifically concerns weather-related contracts and represents a minor procedural error that the company is currently working to resolve. This probe occurs amid increasing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets in Washington. The CFTC has recently taken other actions regarding these platforms, including ordering the removal of sports-related contracts on Kalshi and reviewing the operations of competitor Polymarket.
