Coinbase CLO: Former U.S. Acting Solicitor General Files “Masterpiece” Amicus Brief in Kalshi Case
Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal stated that former U.S. Acting Solicitor General Prelogar, representing the Coalition for Prediction Markets, has submitted an amicus brief supporting Kalshi to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, describing it as a “masterpiece.” Paul Grewal pointed out that the document not only outlines the historical background of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's exclusive regulatory authority over prediction markets but also presents three key arguments:1. Prediction markets can uniquely aggregate market information and convert it into simple price signals, collectively aggregated by market participants.2. Users of prediction markets trade at prices that market participants are willing to accept. They cannot control contract prices and bear the legal obligation to provide users with fair access to contracts.3. The laws of various U.S. states are unsuitable for regulating prediction markets because their core objectives are not to maintain fair markets, price discovery, information aggregation, risk hedging, or prevent market manipulation.
