TREE NEWS update: Utah has sued Kalshi and Susquehanna-affiliated market makers, seeking injunctions, restitution and profits, alleging they helped sustain wagering despite Kalshi’s federal court defeat. The state’s action targets the prediction market and the firms it says kept the betting going after the court ruling.
Utah Sues Kalshi and Susquehanna Firms Over Alleged Illegal Betting
Utah's suit shifts the pressure from Kalshi's federal court loss to the market makers that supply its liquidity, a reminder that prediction markets carry counterparty and legal exposure beyond the platform itself. Targeting Susquehanna-affiliated firms signals that states may pursue the plumbing of these markets, not just the venue, which matters for any liquidity provider touching event contracts. Whether other states follow Utah's template, and how market makers price state-level legal risk into their participation, is the open question worth watching.
