According to Cryptopolitan, prediction market platform Kalshi has filed a lawsuit against Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul, among other officials, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois over the state’s newly signed SB3019 bill. The bill requires prediction market platforms to obtain state-level operating licenses and imposes a 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions involving Illinois residents; it is set to take effect on July 1. Kalshi argues that, as a CFTC-registered platform, it is protected under the Commodity Exchange Act, which grants the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over exchange-traded derivatives—a federal authority that conflicts with the state-level regulatory framework. The company has also sought both a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to prevent the bill from taking effect as scheduled.

Regarding the compliance timeline, operators must submit their cryptocurrency compliance policy to the CGA within three months, complete risk assessments and staff training within six months, and achieve full compliance—including wallet segregation, on-chain analytics deployment, and audit log maintenance—within 12 months (i.e., by June 2027). The CGA also reserves the right to require accelerated compliance in the event of material risk.
The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on Wednesday to discuss the changing roles of banks and fintech companies, with a key focus being the "skinny master account" option under consideration by the Federal Reserve, which would allow certain crypto banks and fintech companies limited direct access to the Fed's payment system.A Federal Reserve master account allows financial institutions to directly use the Fed’s payment network and gain the most direct access to the U.S. dollar monetary system. Institutions without such an account typically rely on partner banks that hold master accounts to provide services. The so-called "skinny account" is a version with limited functionality, intended to provide restricted access for new types of financial institutions.Republican Representative Dan Meuser stated during the hearing that access to the Fed’s payment system is no small matter, and the core issue is which institutions should be permitted to directly use these critical payment rails. Traditional institutions like community banks worry that crypto and fintech companies are not subject to the same stringent regulations, and granting them direct access could pose safety and soundness risks.The crypto industry generally supports the proposal, arguing that direct access to the Fed’s payment system is long overdue, as it would help reduce reliance on intermediary banks and foster innovation. In May, former President Trump signed an executive order requiring the Federal Reserve to evaluate policies for opening central bank payment rails to fintech companies, including crypto firms.Previously, in March, the Kansas City Fed approved Kraken’s parent company, Payward, for a "limited purpose account," sparking discussions about the extent to which crypto and fintech companies should have direct access to Fed services. A representative from Anchorage Digital stated during the hearing that if the U.S. is to remain the global financial center, it must allow for innovative federal and state-level regulatory frameworks.
According to Decrypt, U.S. President Trump temporarily canceled the signing ceremony for the “21st Century Housing Pathway Act” on June 24. The bill not only covers easing restrictions on new home construction and banning large-scale residential purchases by Wall Street firms but also includes a provision extending the ban on CBDC issuance until the end of 2030. The bill had previously passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives by overwhelming margins—85–5 and 358–32, respectively. Trump stated he would refuse to sign the housing bill unless Congress first passes the controversial “SAVE America Act” (a voting rights restriction bill), calling the housing bill “irrelevant.” Republican leadership has previously indicated that the “SAVE America Act” has virtually no chance of passage. If Trump ultimately vetoes the bill, Congress would need to override the veto with a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers for it to become law.
