  • Arizona has escalated its case against Kalshi by filing criminal charges over alleged illegal gambling activity.
  • Kalshi argues the case is a jurisdictional overreach and part of a broader fight over regulatory control.
  • The dispute highlights tension between state gambling laws and federal oversight via the CFTC.

Kalshi is pushing back against criminal charges filed in Arizona, with co-founder Tarek Mansour accusing state authorities of overreach and arguing the case is aimed at undermining a federally regulated marketplace.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has brought 20 criminal counts against the company, alleging it operated an illegal gambling business and enabled betting on elections and sporting events in violation of state law. Mayes has said the state will enforce its laws against unlicensed wagering activity.

Mansour has countered that the charges are not about gambling, but instead represent an effort to disrupt an ongoing legal battle over who has authority to regulate prediction markets. He has also argued that the move attempts to bypass judicial processes already underway.

At the core of the dispute is Kalshi’s position that its contracts fall under the oversight of the CFTC, which regulates derivatives markets at the federal level. The company describes its platform as a financial exchange where users trade outcome-based contracts rather than placing bets against a bookmaker.

Arizona’s case stands out as an escalation, shifting from the civil actions seen in other states to criminal prosecution. The broader conflict now involves multiple jurisdictions, reflecting a growing divide between state regulators and federal authorities.

CFTC Chair Mike Selig has described the matter as a jurisdictional dispute and criticised the use of criminal charges, indicating the agency is assessing its response.

FCA, crackdown on crypto

FCA, crackdown on crypto

The post FCA, crackdown on crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United Kingdom enters a decisive phase. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation to set minimum standards on transparency, consumer protection, and digital custody, in order to strengthen market confidence and ensure safer operations for exchanges, wallets, and crypto service providers. The consultation was published on May 2, 2025, and opened a public discussion on operational responsibilities and safeguarding requirements for digital assets (CoinDesk). The goal is to make the rules clearer without hindering the sector’s evolution. According to the data collected by our regulatory monitoring team, in the first weeks following the publication, the feedback received from professionals and operators focused mainly on custody, incident reporting, and insurance requirements. Industry analysts note that many responses require technical clarifications on multi-sig, asset segregation, and recovery protocols, as well as proposals to scale obligations based on the size of the operator. FCA Consultation: What’s on the Table The consultation document clarifies how to apply rules inspired by traditional finance to the crypto perimeter, balancing innovation, market integrity, and user protection. In this context, the goal is to introduce minimum standards for all firms under the supervision of the FCA, an essential step for a more transparent and secure sector, with measurable benefits for users. The proposed pillars Obligations towards consumers: assessment on the extension of the Consumer Duty – a requirement that mandates companies to provide “good outcomes” – to crypto services, with outcomes for users that are traceable and verifiable. Operational resilience: introduction of continuity requirements, incident response plans, and periodic testing to ensure the operational stability of platforms even in adverse scenarios. Financial Crime Prevention: strengthening AML/CFT measures through more stringent transaction monitoring and structured counterpart checks. Custody and safeguarding: definition of operational methods for the segregation of client assets, secure…

From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP)

From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP)

The post From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency sector is dynamic and vital for major and minor players alike. With every boom, new categories of tokens are introduced that make new market predictions based on new sets of metrics.  Many believe that, apart from having an appreciated use case that makes it easily attain adoption, Ripple (XRP) has already established itself as a vital part of the blockchain system. But as it turns out, a new competitor, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), has generated significant buzz. Little Pepe is projected to appreciate to 100x its current price of 0.0021, reach 0.25 in 2025, and is considered a top pick for 2025. Ripple (XRP): Dependable but Predictable Ripple has dominated cross-border payment technology for many years. Priced at around $2.98, Ripple remains well supported by partnerships with industry leaders and its increasing contribution to payment processing.  Analysts predict XRP to be at the $7 to $10 range by 2026 and the recent favorable legal rulings Ripple has received in the United States has heightened optimism surrounding the token. For conservative investors, XRP represents stability in an otherwise volatile sector. However, its large market capitalization makes 50x or 100x gains virtually impossible within one cycle. Ripple is a strong asset in the utility sense, but lacks the utility that smaller tokens can bring. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Presale Energy With a Twist Little Pepe is capturing the attention of investors with its outstanding presale performance. Currently, the presale is in Stage 12, and each stage sells out faster and faster. presale is at $0.0021.  Each stage is selling out faster and faster. Analysts speculate the token could rise to $0.25 within 10 weeks after listing. Such a rise would be one of recent memory’s most remarkable early runs. What makes Little Pepe different is its dual identity. On the surface, it…
