Huoxun Finance News, January 13th - According to Cointelegraph, a federal judge in Tennessee has temporarily blocked the state's regulators from taking action against prediction market platform Kalshi. This comes after Kalshi sued the state, seeking an order to cease offering sports betting contracts. On Monday, Judge Aleta Trauger issued an order supporting Kalshi's applications for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order against the Tennessee Sports Betting Commission and the state's Attorney General. The order is in effect during the proceedings. The judge stated that the regulators' actions would cause Kalshi "irreparable harm and loss," and that unless the regulators are restrained, the company "is likely to prevail on the substantive issues of its claims, and its rights are likely to be violated." The Tennessee Sports Betting Commission issued cease-and-desist letters on Friday to Kalshi, Polymarket, and Crypto.com, ordering them to cease offering sports betting contracts in the state. The regulator accused the three companies of offering sports betting products without a license. Regulators have ordered them to cease offering such products in Tennessee, cancel all contracts, and refund all users in the state by January 31, or face fines of up to $25,000 for each violation.
