商品期货交易委员会起诉阿肯色州：称州方叫停事件合约并拟罚数亿美元的做法被联邦法律排除
华盛顿 — 美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）11月13日宣布，已起诉阿肯色州，寻求阻止该州叫停事件合约交易、并对在 CFTC 注册的交易所施加高达数亿美元民事罚款的做法。这是 CFTC 为捍卫联邦主权利益而起诉的第11个州。
CFTC 表示，阿肯色州正在州法院对 Kalshi 提起民事执法，Kalshi 是 CFTC 指定的合约市场。CFTC 称，阿肯色州阻碍在《商品交易法》下合法运营的 CFTC 注册交易所履行职能的做法，被联邦法律优先适用所排除。
CFTC 主席 Michael S. Selig 表示，预测市场持续证明其在风险管理上的价值，也能向公众提供有关未来的有价值信息，而阿肯色州试图关停的事件合约范围从体育、政治一直到其他重大世界事件。他说，CFTC 将继续捍卫国会依《商品交易法》授予该机构对这些联邦监管市场的专属管辖权，不会让州的干预破坏其监管工作、摧毁联邦监管的市场。
CFTC 还表示，该机构另已在四个联邦上诉法院与一个州最高法院提交法庭之友意见。阿肯色州对 Kalshi 的执法始于州总检察长一方：本月初，阿肯色州总检察长起诉预测市场 Kalshi，指控其经营非法赌博，GSM 已有报道。CFTC 此次起诉州方，意味着这场围绕预测市场管辖权的联邦与州之争进一步升级，后续由法院裁决。

CFTC Sues Arkansas to Defend Federal Jurisdiction Over Prediction Markets
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on November 13 that it has filed a lawsuit against Arkansas to block the state's attempts to halt event-contract trading and impose up to hundreds of millions of dollars in civil penalties on CFTC-registered exchanges. Arkansas is the 11th state the CFTC has sued to vindicate federal sovereign interests.
According to the CFTC, Arkansas is bringing a civil enforcement action in state court against Kalshi, a CFTC-designated contract market. The CFTC said Arkansas's efforts to obstruct the functions of CFTC-registered exchanges operating lawfully under the Commodity Exchange Act are preempted by federal law.
“As prediction markets continue to prove their value in being useful for risk management and providing the public with valuable information about the future, Arkansas seeks to shut down event contracts ranging from sports and politics to other important world events,” said Chairman Michael S. Selig. “The CFTC will continue to defend its sole jurisdiction over these federally regulated markets as granted by Congress under the Commodity Exchange Act, and the Commission will not let state interference thwart its regulatory efforts and destroy federally regulated markets.”
The CFTC said it has also submitted amicus briefs in four federal Courts of Appeal and one state Supreme Court. Arkansas's enforcement against Kalshi began on the state side: earlier this month the Arkansas attorney general sued the prediction market Kalshi, alleging it operates illegal gambling, as GSM previously reported. The CFTC's suit against the state marks a further escalation of the federal-state fight over who regulates prediction markets, which now moves to the courts.
