The Block reported that New Jersey submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a ruling on which authority should oversee sports betting that uses prediction‑market mechanisms.

The request follows ongoing legal ambiguities about whether state or federal regulators have authority over these novel wagering products. Subsequent coverage added that prediction‑market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket are preparing appeals aimed at the same court, while Kalshi’s general counsel told State Affairs the company is “regulation‑first.” Mashable reported that both firms have filed the appeals, signaling a coordinated push to obtain a definitive legal framework.

The Hill noted the broader regulatory debate is moving closer to a Supreme Court decision. No outlet reported a definitive ruling, leaving the matter pending before the justices.
