A Nevada court has issued a 14-day temporary restraining order against Blockratize, the operator of Polymarket, a prediction market platform. The order mandates the cessation of event-based contract trading to Nevada residents, classifying these contracts as unlicensed gambling rather than regulated financial products. The court emphasized that continuing operations without a gambling license could harm Nevada's regulatory framework for gambling integrity and standards.
The ruling challenges Blockratize's claim that the Commodity Exchange Act grants the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) exclusive jurisdiction over its contracts. The court maintained that state gambling laws are applicable, underscoring the ongoing tension between state and federal regulatory authorities in the crypto space.
