First up this week is a team from Jones Day led by Amanda Rice and Yaakov Roth. They secured a ruling from the D.C. Circuit this week giving client KalshiEx a greenlight to offer derivative contracts allowing Americans to put money down on which political party will gain control of Congress after the November elections. The Jones Day team previously secured a summary judgment win at the district court against the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. That win blocked the CFTC order barring Kalshi from offering its "congressional control contracts." The D.C. Circuit this week declined to stay the district court ruling, finding the agency failed to show the contracts would incentivize political misinformation or harm election integrity. The Jones Day team includes associates Sam Lioi and John Henry Thompson.
