One source stated that the CFTC notified the platform Kalshi about the review several weeks ago. The source also mentioned that shortly after receiving the notice from the CFTC, the Kalshi platform removed sports-related Mention Markets. It is currently unclear whether the investigation is limited to sports-related Mention Markets or encompasses all topics within Mention Markets.
