[Kalshi Removes Athlete Injury Prediction Markets at the Request of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission] According to Sportico, prediction market platform Kalshi removed betting markets related to the duration of athlete injuries and playing status on Tuesday, following a request from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to cease such activities. Earlier this year, Kalshi had offered markets involving the health status of players such as Luka Dončić, Anthony Edwards, and Malik Nabers, charging transaction fees. In its proposed rules, the CFTC stated that sports event contracts directly tied to athlete injuries should not be permitted. The National Football League (NFL) does not endorse such markets. Kalshi has not yet clarified how the settlement will be handled for the affected markets that have been removed but remain open.
