Operator v. state
QCX, LLC v. Nessel
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, 1:26-cv-00710
Injunction denied
Preliminary injunction denied June 17, 2026; appeal pending (6th Cir. No. 26-1552).
The question
Whether the Commodity Exchange Act preempts Michigan gambling or sports-wagering law as applied to event contracts listed on a CFTC-designated contract market.
Polymarket's U.S. exchange sued Michigan officials to block enforcement of state gaming law. The court denied preliminary relief the same day it denied Robinhood's parallel motion.
