**Source:** New York AG lawsuit against Coinbase/Gemini, omission of Kalshi, April 21, 2026
Coinbase (which operates Coinbase Derivatives, a DCM-adjacent entity) was sued by New York AG despite federal licensing, suggesting DCM licensure alone does not protect operators from state gambling enforcement without proactive federal litigation. Kalshi's preemptive federal suit strategy appears to be the distinguishing factor in avoiding state charges.
## Challenging Evidence
**Source:** Nevada Independent, 9th Circuit preliminary ruling, Feb 17 2026
The 9th Circuit's February 17, 2026 one-page decision upheld Nevada's preliminary injunction against Kalshi despite Kalshi's CFTC DCM registration. Nevada filed a civil enforcement action the same day seeking permanent block. The CFTC simultaneously filed amicus briefs supporting Kalshi, creating a federal agency conflict. This demonstrates that CFTC designation does not automatically preempt state civil enforcement during pending federal proceedings.

New York AG filed against Coinbase and Gemini on April 21, 2026, expanding state offensive beyond specialized prediction market platforms to institutional-grade exchanges with federal licenses. This confirms the multi-state campaign is broadening its target set to include any platform offering prediction markets, regardless of federal regulatory compliance.
## Extending Evidence
**Source:** Nevada Independent, Nevada Gaming Control Board civil action, Feb 17 2026
Nevada's civil enforcement action filed February 17, 2026 in Carson City District Court represents active state-level litigation proceeding in parallel with federal proceedings. The preliminary injunction was upheld while the April 16 merits hearing remained pending, showing state enforcement can proceed independently of federal case resolution timelines.
