Kalshi settles lawsuit with Montana authorities over event contracts

  • Kalshi withdraws all claims against Montana authorities, including cease-and-desist letters
  • Montana regulators will not pursue event contracts until a ruling in Kalshi v. Assad
  • Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen retains the right to file independent suits against Kalshi
  • The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals previously equated Kalshi's sports contracts with gambling
Why it matters: The outcome will determine whether U.S. state authorities can ban event contracts offered by Kalshi and Robinhood.
