The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a motion on September 2 to dismiss CME Group's lawsuit challenging the CFTC's approval of Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual futures contract.

The CFTC counters that CME lacks legal standing since it can list similar contracts itself and that futures contracts do not require fixed expiration dates. The court will decide on the motion after CME responds by October 2, with Kalshi's contract still available for trading during the case.
