New Jersey last week filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in Kalshi's case against the state, formally asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a lower court decision. The move pushes the prediction market dispute to the nation's highest court, which will now decide whether to hear the appeal. A Supreme Court ruling could clarify the legal status of event contracts, making this a pivotal moment for the prediction market industry.

Last week, New Jersey asked the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari in Kalshi's case against the state, finally tossing the matter to the high court. It is the newest step in the legal fight over prediction markets, putting the case right at the door of the highest judicial authority in the United States.

Now the Supreme Court has to decide whether to take the petition. And the result could carry major consequences for how prediction markets are regulated across the country.
