On November 11, 2026, ChainCatcher reported, citing POLITICO, that people familiar with the matter said the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) had warned prediction-market platform Kalshi that it may soon face charges.
The CFTC was investigating whether Kalshi failed to follow required notification procedures with the regulator for dozens of proposed new contracts. That inquiry had already been underway for several months.
A Kalshi spokesperson said the warning concerned “procedural errors in the submission process for a small number of contracts,” many of which had not yet launched, and that the company was addressing the issues.
The same account said the CFTC was also investigating Polymarket.
The reporting describes a warning and an ongoing procedural inquiry, not a completed enforcement action or a determination on the substance of the contracts.
