One European Regulator Considers Legal Action Against Kalshi
Kalshi isn't advertising its exchange outside the U.S. Will that prevent regulators in Europe from trying to shut it down?
www.ingame.comHere are the latest publicly available updates on Kalshi EU Limited:
- Kalshi EU Limited announced on February 19, 2026 that it secured funding, with participation from a new investor, Tradeweb Markets Inc. The company issued convertible preferred shares in the round. This indicates ongoing financing activity as Kalshi expands its European footprint.[1]
- Regulatory and international expansion context has remained a theme in 2025–2026. Reports noted that European regulators were scrutinizing Kalshi’s move into Europe, including potential actions in the Netherlands and broader regulatory challenges for non-U.S. prediction markets. Kalshi’s stance has been to limit non-U.S. advertising and rely on organic visibility rather than targeted campaigns.[2][3]
- There were mentions of a CFTC inquiry into Kalshi’s Super Bowl contracts in early 2025, which impacted sentiment around Kalshi but did not halt European expansion discussions or funding announcements.[3]
- Kalshi maintains its identity as a federally regulated exchange focused on event-based contracts, with historical coverage of its regulatory status and market positioning in the U.S..[4]
