By Unchained
AI summary of the source article
The CFTC has privately warned prediction market Kalshi that enforcement charges may be imminent over how it notified regulators about new products. Kalshi stated the warning stems from a procedural error regarding contract submissions that it is already addressing.
Why it matters
