  "account": "In June, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour expressed confidence in his company's ability to offer sports-event contracts nationwide, despite potential Supreme Court rulings that could impact the prediction-market industry. However, on Friday, a three-judge panel for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Nevada can enforce its gambling laws against Kalshi. The Ninth Circuit also noted that the facts in suits involving Robinhood and Crypto.com \"mirror\" those in the Kalshi case. Kalshi launched sports-event contracts in January of last year, and in 2025, its trading volume was just under 87% sports, according to data from a venture capital backer. This ruling brings the fight for Supreme Court resolution closer due to a \"circuit split\" - two appeals courts ruling differently on the same issue.",
