Crypto.com Petitions SCOTUS to Evaluate Sports Event Contract Regulations (Sportsbettingdime)
Summary: Crypto.com has submitted a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the court to evaluate whether the Commodity Exchange Act preempts state regulation of sports event contracts. The petition seeks an appeal of the Ninth Circuit’s decision, which affirmed District Judge Andrew Gordon’s April 2025 decision to dissolve an approved Kalshi injunction and allow the Nevada Gaming Control Board to uphold its state gambling laws against sports event contracts. The question presented is whether the CEA preempts state regulation of sports-event contracts traded on a DCM. The nation’s highest court does not have to accept the writ and hear the case.

Summary: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Elon Musk’s AI business face a civil lawsuit in the United States alleging that their leaders’ support for a coordinated slowdown in artificial intelligence development amounts to illegal collusion. The complaint was filed on Friday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. It alleges that public statements by executives earlier this month constituted an agreement between competitors that violates the Sherman Act. Four plaintiffs brought the lawsuit and intend to seek class-action status. The supplied report includes no response from the companies or court ruling on the allegations.
Why it matters: The plaintiffs’ argument also challenges the legitimacy of companies designing and enforcing their own safety arrangements while lawmakers consider regulation. Nick Rowley, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, said decisions about potentially dangerous technology should be subject to transparent government oversight and public accountability.
"The complaint alleges that this collective endorsement crossed the line into an unlawful pact to restrict competition." — OPENTHEMAGAZINE
