A Nevada federal judge has denied Crypto.com's request for a preliminary injunction, ruling that its sports prediction contracts are not classified as 'swaps' under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). This decision permits Nevada state regulatory challenges to continue, creating short-term uncertainty for operators in the prediction market sector. Legal experts anticipate the ruling may be overturned on appeal, referencing precedent and statutory interpretation that could favor Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jurisdiction.
