I'm not a lawyer, and I originally made a claim about sportsbetting covering a a subset of prediction markets, so just being covered for more laws that are not necessarily related to bets. But I made some research, and here's the

My main proposition was that prediction markets include sports betting as well as a bunch of other things, and they are therefore more regulated. Did some research, and Kalshi (US based) is regulated by the CFTC, so they are already regulat
