Coinbase sues three US states over prediction-market oversight
Coinbase has sued regulators in Connecticut, Illinois and Michigan, seeking to prevent state action against its planned prediction-market expansion, the company said, according to the report. Coinbase argues that its contracts fall under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s federal authority rather than state gambling laws. State regulators and casino interests argue that prediction markets resemble sports betting and should follow state rules.
The case could shape whether prediction-market operators face state gambling oversight or federal regulation.
