# Massachusetts SJC oral argument signals state courts will allow state gambling law to coexist with CFTC regulation of DCM event contracts

**Source:** ZwillGen, May 4 2026 post-argument analysis
|
||||
|
||||
ZwillGen's post-argument analysis identifies Justice Kafker's 'swimming upstream' comment and justices questioning distinguishability from sports betting as indicators the SJC is skeptical of federal preemption claims. ZwillGen frames the SJC as 'structurally the most difficult venue for CFTC preemption' because state courts deciding whether their own AG's enforcement is preempted creates institutional bias toward narrower federal preemption interpretation.

# Ninth Circuit oral argument signals pro-state ruling on prediction market preemption creating circuit split with Third Circuit
|
||||
|
||||
During the April 16, 2026 Ninth Circuit oral argument in consolidated Nevada cases (Kalshi, Robinhood, Crypto.com vs. Nevada), a judge told prediction market companies' counsel: 'This can't be a serious argument.' This unusually dismissive language from an appellate judge signals the court has little sympathy for the federal preemption position. Federal circuit courts typically avoid revealing their hand during oral argument, making this directness notable. Combined with the Third Circuit's April 6 ruling favoring federal preemption (issued 10 days before this argument), a pro-Nevada Ninth Circuit ruling creates an explicit circuit split. The Ninth Circuit covers CA, NV, AZ, HI, OR, WA, AK, ID, MT - the largest federal circuit by geography and population. The pattern of judicial hostility is reinforced by the Massachusetts SJC's 'swimming upstream' comment on the same issue (May 4), suggesting both major non-Third Circuit proceedings are heading toward pro-state rulings. Ruling expected within 60-120 days (June 14 – August 14, 2026).

Ninth Circuit oral argument on April 16 (10 days after Third Circuit's April 6 pro-preemption ruling) showed judicial hostility to federal preemption arguments, with a judge stating 'This can't be a serious argument.' Ruling expected June 14 – August 14, 2026, which aligns with the predicted summer 2026 circuit split timeline.

|

Ninth Circuit judge's April 16 dismissive comment ('This can't be a serious argument') provides concrete oral argument evidence that the circuit split is materializing. Combined with Massachusetts SJC's 'swimming upstream' comment on same issue, two separate courts used dismissive language toward prediction market companies in the same week, creating a pattern of judicial hostility outside the Third Circuit.

# The Third Circuit / Ninth Circuit circuit split on CFTC preemption of state gambling law for event contracts is forming as of April-May 2026 and likely to produce SCOTUS review in 2026-2027
|
||||
|
||||
Fortune reports that following the Third Circuit's April 6 ruling in Kalshi's favor (first federal appellate court to hold CFTC preempts state gambling law for DCM-listed event contracts), and with Ninth Circuit oral argument on April 16 showing apparent pro-state signals, the path toward SCOTUS review is forming. The circuit split path: if Ninth Circuit rules pro-state (expected June-August 2026), an explicit Third/Ninth split is confirmed. SCOTUS cert petition projected July-September 2026. Polymarket prices SCOTUS cert at 39% by year-end 2026, providing market-implied probability. The Massachusetts SJC oral argument (May 4) also appears skeptical of federal preemption. Fortune's coverage as mainstream business press (not crypto niche) signals this issue has moved to top-tier regulatory importance, receiving the same treatment CFTC/SEC crypto battles got in 2022-2023 when they moved from crypto media to WSJ/Bloomberg/Fortune. This creates a window of regulatory uncertainty for all event-contingency products through 2026-2027.
