But we saved everything 🙂.
Laura Shin highlights comments by Sam stating that platforms like Kalshi or Polymarket, when operating as CFTC-regulated designated contract markets, are not required to obtain a gambling license or adhere to state gambling rules.
According to the tweet, this is because such activities are considered derivatives trading rather than gambling.
Shin has previously covered user concerns over crypto market volatility and trading fees, noting Coinbase One’s 20% discount and a $50 BTC offer in a recent article. She also reported that NEAR developed its sharded blockchain design independently after an unsuccessful funding pitch to the Ethereum Foundation, according to past coverage. These reports reflect a continued focus on regulatory clarity and industry responses.
