Saars,
We are sorry.

PS: We had to put this message on X, because your email may not be working.
We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services.
This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions.
Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration.
We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete.

Wrong. CFTC should not be involved is the point.
The Commodities Exchange Act says that event contracts in "gaming" are contrary to the "public interest" and therefore prohibited.
CFTC jurisdiction depends on events with a "financial, commercial, or economic consequence”
Kalshi is 80% sports.
Prediction market contracts are also not futures contracts, options or swaps.
I couldn’t agree with this any more if I tried.
Here’s what’s happening - Kalshi just asked a federal court to stop Louisiana from treating its prediction markets as illegal gambling.
Kalshi is a federally regulated exchange under the CFTC. Congress gave the CFTC exclusive control over contracts traded on these exchanges so they work the same way nationwide instead of facing a different set of rules in every state.
Louisiana is trying to apply its gambling laws anyway and shut the markets down.
That creates a DIRECT CONFLICT with federal law. States still regulate regular sportsbooks and casinos, but once a product is listed on a CFTC-approved exchange, the federal rules are supposed to control.
This is the CFTC’s lane.
