Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market platform, has filed suit against Illinois officials including Governor JB Pritzker to block enforcement of SB3019. The new state law imposes licensing requirements and a 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions for Illinois-based users—a move Kalshi argues violates federal jurisdiction under the Commodity Exchange Act.

The lawsuit highlights a regulatory clash: Complying with Illinois' rules would force Kalshi to violate CFTC uniformity mandates, while non-compliance risks state penalties. This legal battle could set precedent for how decentralized finance platforms navigate conflicting state and federal frameworks.
