Three appeals docketed from the E.D. Wis. case: by the United States/CFTC (26-2636, docketed Aug. 10, 2026, with a motion to expedite filed Aug. 11, 2026; opening brief due Sept. 21, 2026), by KalshiEX (26-2675, brief due Sept. 23, 2026) and by the American Gaming Association (26-2696, brief due Sept. 28, 2026). No decision found as of Oct. 21, 2026.
The question
Whether the CEA preempts Wisconsin law as applied to event contracts on CFTC-registered exchanges, so that the state may be enjoined from enforcing it against them.
The federal government and Kalshi appealed the denial of preliminary relief against Wisconsin; the American Gaming Association filed a separate appeal.
