The post Kalshi loses New York court battle as Google bans prediction market extensions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Kalshi has lost another round in court. A federal judge has turned down the company’s request to stop New York from applying its gambling laws to the prediction markets platform. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan issued the ruling on Tuesday. She said Kalshi was not entitled to a preliminary injunction. She reasoned that the federal Commodity Exchange Act does not override New York’s gambling laws when it comes to Kalshi’s sports-event contracts. Torres said New York has strong reasons for its position. She pointed to the state’s goals of stopping gambling addiction, protecting the integrity of sports, and keeping unregulated contracts from spreading. Those interests, she wrote, “heavily” outweigh Kalshi’s arguments about federal law taking priority, and about customers running into what the company called “intractable” tech problems. “Kalshi has no

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – DECEMBER 11: Brittany Allen attends Showtime’s “Dexter: Original Sin” New York Premiere at SVA Theater on December 11, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/WireImage) WireImage Before Brittany Allen was an Emmy nominee, she was almost a Supporting Actress. (Spoilers) Allen plays Roxie Hamler in The Pitt‘s second season, a young mother with terminal cancer who is admitted to the ER contemplating ending it all. Roxie’s arc started as a six-episode role, grew to eight scripted episodes, and then lost its final one — the death scene never made air. Emmy rules split guest and supporting categories by episode count, and losing that scene held Allen under the line: seven aired episodes instead of eight, keeping her in guest actress rather than bumping her to supporting. “When I saw that they just had her pass away off camera, first of all, I tho

Topline A federal judge in New York authorized a $5.8 million judgement against President Donald Trump, three years after he was found liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll—rejecting a last-minute motion on Tuesday night attempting to pause the disbursement out of concerns she planned to donate the funds. Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll in 2023. Getty Images Key Facts The $5 million award plus interest was mostly already paid and kept in a court-controlled account while Trump appealed the case, but Judge Lewis Kaplan authorized the disbursement of the funds in an order on Wednesday. On Tuesday, attorneys for Trump asked the court to deny Carroll’s request, insisting Trump could face “unrecoverable financial loss” if she went ahead with her plans to donate the money, should the Supreme Court later overt

New York, NY, United States, July 8th, 2026, Chainwire Stacking DAO today announced stBTC, a liquid staked version of Bitcoin built for Stacks’ upcoming Bitcoin Staking release. stBTC will let Bitcoin holders earn yield through staking while keeping their capital liquid and ready to move across the rest of the Stacks ecosystem.

Stacking DAO built stBTC to close that gap and give Bitcoin holders a native path to put their capital to work. stBTC is the missing bridge between earning Bitcoin yield and putting Bitcoin capital to work. A holder will be able to stake Bitcoin and participate in Bitcoin-nativ

The July 7 opinion leaves Kalshi without temporary protection from the New York State Gaming Commission while its lawsuit continues.

The ruling marks a key moment in the wider prediction market fight over whether event contracts are federally regulated derivatives or state-regulated wagering products. New York Ruling Puts
