The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) sued the state of New Mexico on Friday, adding another layer to the complex legal situation surrounding prediction markets.

The regulator's opposition to last week's suit against Kalshi in state court was outlined in a news release on Friday morning. This legal clash is part of a broader pattern seen in various jurisdictions involving sports event contracts.
