Sept ⁠2 (Reuters) - New Jersey ⁠authorities on Wednesday asked ‌the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve whether ​states have the ⁠power to ⁠police sports betting that ⁠occurs ‌on prediction markets ⁠operated by Kalshi and ​competing ‌platforms.

The state asked the ⁠Supreme ​Court to overturn a lower ⁠court's decision in April ​holding that the U.S. Commodity Futures ⁠Trading Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over the sports-related event ​contracts that ⁠Kalshi allows people ​to trade ‌on its platform.
