PANews reported on February 18th that, according to Business Insider, Nevada regulators have officially sued prediction market platform Kalshi. The regulators are reportedly seeking a court order to prohibit Kalshi from continuing to operate an "unlicensed sports betting business." They also noted Kalshi's rapid growth, with trading volume on Super Bowl Sunday this year being 27 times that of last year. As of now, a Kalshi spokesperson declined to comment, but disclosed that they have requested federal court to hear the case, pointing out that only federal law applies to prediction markets, and that the state's new enforcement action is based on the same issues being addressed in the federal court.



BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors.

Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
