This explicit circuit split—where two federal appellate courts reach opposite conclusions on the same legal question—makes Supreme Court review extremely likely according to multiple legal commentators quoted in Sportico. The ruling represents the first federal appellate court to affirm CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets. Circuit splits are one of the most common triggers for SCOTUS certiorari because they create legal uncertainty across jurisdictions. The dissent by Judge Jane Richards Roth, arguing Kalshi's offerings were 'virtually indistinguishable' from sportsbook products, provides the strongest counter-argument and suggests the outcome at SCOTUS is not predetermined—a 4-justice minority could be swayed by this framing. diff --git a/entities/internet-finance/ripple-prime.md b/entities/internet-finance/ripple-prime.md index 1ce15bdc3..917f1913f 100644 --- a/entities/internet-finance/ripple-prime.md +++ b/entities/internet-finance/ripple-prime.md @@ -1,25 +1,13 @@ ---- -type: entity -entity_type: company -name: Ripple Prime -domain: internet-finance -status: active -founded: [unknown] -headquarters: [unknown] -website: [unknown] ---- - # Ripple Prime +**Type:** Institutional prime brokerage +**Status:** Active +**Domain:** internet-finance + ## Overview -Ripple Prime is an institutional prime brokerage service that provides traditional financial institutions with access to on-chain derivatives markets.
