Utah Governor Spencer Cox

Our coverage of Utah Governor Spencer Cox's frank rejection of prediction markets coming to his state saw 36,620 impressions in recent days and that coverage continues as we learned Tuesday that Kalshi filed a suit against Cox and Attorney General Derek Brown in an effort to stop them from shutting down their trading platform in the state. 

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah.  It claims that authorities in Utah are planning to ban the prediction market for violating gambling bans, and calls on a judge to issue an injunction to prevent them from doing so.

The suit comes just days after Cox responded to the newly appointed chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission throwing his full support behind Kalshi and its competitors.  

Chairman Michael Selig said last week: “The CFTC will no longer sit idly by while overzealous state governments undermine the agency’s exclusive jurisdiction over these markets by seeking to establish statewide prohibitions on these exciting products.”

“Look, this is a joke, and I can’t believe he tried to say this with a straight face,” Cox said in response to Selig's comments. 

“I’m concerned about these new technologies, and what they’re doing to our kids,” Cox added. “It’s one thing if we’re fighting China, and you’re developing your model. But once you start selling sexualized chat bots to kids in my state, now I have a problem with that, and I’m going to get involved there, and the Supreme Court is going to back me up.”
