NFL urges Supreme Court review of New Jersey Kalshi appeal, arguing state gambling rules apply

Author

The NFL has asked the Supreme Court to review a ruling that Kalshi's sports-event contracts fall under exclusive federal oversight.

In its amicus brief filed on Thursday, the league contends that these contracts should be regulated under state gambling laws rather than federal law.

The NFL noted that contracts tied to NFL-related events accounted for $1.8 billion of the $3.3 billion traded across prediction markets on the season's opening Sunday.

The league seeks a ruling before the 2027 season and says that upholding federal jurisdiction would spur renewed efforts to strengthen integrity protections and consumer safeguards ahead of that season.

Decrypt Debuts Self-Custodial Money Accounts on Solana With Unified Balance Across Services

Author

Decrypt has rolled out its self-custodial Money Accounts on Solana, enabling a single balance to support its product suite and The Information Exchange, the financial and intelligence market it is building.

ChainCatcher reports that Decrypt co-founder Ilan Hazan described the aim as having one account and one balance so users can access tools directly where they get information, including prediction markets, perpetual contracts, and swaps.

Deposits and balances are denominated in USDT on Solana, and the same balance can be used for Earn, Swaps, Predictions, and Perps. Gas and rent are sponsored through a co-signer, so users do not need to hold SOL or manage network fees.

Decrypt notes the Money Account is self-custodial, meaning it does not hold private keys or perform actions on behalf of users, and a private-key export feature is planned for the near future.

Behind the scenes, cross-chain operations occur, including Myriad Predictions settlements on BNB Chain while users continue trading with the same Solana USDT balance without using a bridge.

Existing Myriad Wallet users can access Decrypt Money Accounts directly, with one account and one balance covering both Decrypt and Myriad without migration.
