 # Bipartisan state AG coalition of 38 jurisdictions signals near-consensus government opposition to CFTC prediction market preemption through federalism arguments that transcend partisan alignment

 The 38-state AG coalition (37 states + DC) filed amicus brief on April 24, 2026 in Massachusetts SJC case Commonwealth v. KalshiEx, arguing that Dodd-Frank targeted 2008 financial crisis instruments, not gambling, and that CEA's 'exclusive jurisdiction' language cannot extend to sports gambling. Coalition spans full political spectrum including deep-red states (Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah), representing near-consensus state sovereignty position rather than partisan resistance.

+
+The 38-state AG coalition (plus DC and Northern Mariana Islands) represents the broadest state opposition to CFTC preemption documented to date. This is not a narrow activist AG effort but nearly three-quarters of states asserting regulatory authority. The coalition's federalism-based argument emphasizes that state gambling regulation has historically coexisted with federal derivatives oversight, and states have extensive statutory frameworks. The breadth signals bipartisan political pressure for SCOTUS review if states lose Fourth/Ninth Circuit battles.

 **Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright post-SJC analysis, May 2026
 
 Norton Rose Fulbright's comprehensive post-SJC analysis addresses prediction markets across 'political elections, sports outcomes, macroeconomic data, weather and various other topics' with specific references to political event contracts but zero mention of futarchy governance markets, decision markets, or TWAP settlement mechanisms. This is significant because Norton Rose is one of the top-3 law firms analyzing prediction market regulation, and if governance market distinctions were on any lawyer's radar post-SJC, this comprehensive analysis would be the place to find it.

+38-state AG coalition amicus brief (filed April 27, 2026) supporting Massachusetts against Kalshi focuses exclusively on sports betting contracts. Zero mentions of governance markets, futarchy, decision markets, or endogenous settlement mechanisms. The brief argues Kalshi's 'aggressive theory of preemption threatens the States' longstanding ability to protect their citizens' in gambling regulation, specifically noting Kalshi offers 'sports contracts' in 19 states where sports betting remains illegal (Washington, California, Texas). This is the broadest anti-prediction-market coalition filing (38 states + DC + Northern Mariana Islands, representing ~75% of states), yet the entire regulatory concern is sports betting.

 SCOTUS cert probability updated to 64% by year-end 2026 (up from 39% in prior tracking). Circuit split now has four dimensions: Third Circuit ruled pro-CFTC preemption (April 6, 2026); Ninth Circuit signaled pro-state at oral argument (April 16); Fourth Circuit oral argument scheduled May 7, 2026 following Maryland district court pro-state ruling; Sixth Circuit has intra-circuit split with Tennessee Middle District ruling for Kalshi and Ohio Northern District ruling against Kalshi. Massachusetts SJC signaled pro-state at May 4 oral argument. The split is now embedded within circuits (Sixth Circuit) not just between circuits, which may accelerate SCOTUS petition.

+The 38-state AG coalition filing (April 27, 2026) confirms the political stakes for SCOTUS review. The coalition represents nearly 75% of states asserting regulatory authority through federalism arguments. If states lose the Fourth/Ninth Circuit battles, the breadth of this coalition signals they will pursue Supreme Court review. The amicus brief was filed in both the SJC case and referenced in Fourth Circuit proceedings, demonstrating coordinated multi-jurisdictional strategy.
