Robinhood Sues Nevada, New Jersey Regulators Over Event Contracts
Robinhood Derivatives has escalated its battle with state regulators, filing lawsuits against Nevada and New Jersey gaming authorities. The legal action comes after federal courts ruled in favor of rival platform Kalshi, which offers CFTC-regulated event contracts. Robinhood alleges selective enforcement is creating an unfair competitive landscape.
The complaints highlight a growing tension between state jurisdictions and federally-regulated crypto markets. Robinhood's move follows Kalshi's successful challenges to similar state bans earlier this year. Market participants are watching closely as these cases could set precedents for how crypto derivatives navigate conflicting regulatory frameworks.
