 **Source:** DefiRate Fourth Circuit oral argument analysis, May 8, 2026
 
 Fourth Circuit panel skepticism creates high probability of anti-Kalshi ruling, which would create 2-1 circuit split (Fourth and Ninth against Kalshi, Third Circuit pro-Kalshi). DefiRate characterizes panel as expressing 'significant doubts' about Kalshi's position. Decision expected July-September 2026. If Fourth Circuit rules against Kalshi, SCOTUS cert becomes 'near-certain' according to source analysis.

+Polymarket market pricing 64% probability of SCOTUS cert by July 31, 2026 with $936,637 traded volume suggests market participants expect faster cert timeline than the Q3 2026 circuit split crystallization + Q4 2026 cert petition filing + October Term 2027 review pathway. However, timeline analysis shows: (1) circuit split has not yet crystallized (Third Circuit ruled April 6, Fourth/Ninth arguments in April-May with rulings expected June-September), (2) SCOTUS typically waits for developed splits before granting cert, (3) even aggressive cert filing from NJ on Third Circuit ruling alone would give SCOTUS only ~60 days to grant by July 31. Sportico/iGaming Business analysts note split 'could emerge by late 2026' and cert petitions 'could be filed by early 2027' supporting the October Term 2027 scenario over July 31, 2026.
