What courts and officials have done about exchanges in Connecticut
- On August 26, 2026, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced a state lawsuit against Kalshi seeking an injunction against unlicensed sports wagering. A federal judge had denied Kalshi's own injunction request earlier that month, and Kalshi appealed to the Second Circuit. Source: Connecticut Attorney General press release, checked October 6, 2026.
- As reported September 11, 2026, Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection issued cease-and-desist orders to nine platforms: Polymarket, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Robinhood, ProphetX, Novig, Webull, Gemini and Underdog Predict. Kalshi, already sued by the state, was not among them. Source: WSHU Public Radio, checked October 6, 2026.
