PANews reported on March 18 that, according to The Block, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed criminal charges against the prediction market platform Kalshi, accusing it of illegally offering sports betting and election betting. Mayes stated that Kalshi marketed itself as a "prediction market" but was actually operating an illegal gambling business and accepting bets on Arizona elections, violating state law. The charges include four counts of election betting, including on the 2028 presidential election and the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial election.

Kalshi argued that its case contract was regulated by the CFTC, and that federal power should take precedence over state law. A Kalshi spokesperson stated that the allegations were "seriously flawed" and a "game to circumvent federal court," and that they would actively defend themselves. Kalshi has previously faced legal challenges in Ohio and Tennessee, among other states. Last week, an Ohio judge rejected Kalshi's motion for a preliminary injunction.

PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale

The post PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 01:13 The Shiba Inu price prediction has regained investor attention this month as meme coin traders shift strategies ahead of Q4. While SHIB and PEPE continue to dominate headlines, many early holders are now hunting for the next breakout. Layer Brett (LBRETT), a new Ethereum Layer 2 meme coin, is quickly emerging as a top contender. Shiba Inu price prediction: Ecosystem grows but limited short-term upside Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently priced at $0.00001307, showing slow but steady performance this September. Despite the relatively quiet price action, SHIB’s long-term vision is continuing to take shape. With the rollout of Shibarium, its Layer 2 network, Shiba Inu is transitioning from meme coin status to ecosystem coin. That said, analysts believe that short-term price action remains capped unless broader meme coin interest returns in full force. Resistance levels near $0.000015 remain tough to crack without major catalysts or a spike in retail enthusiasm. For now, Shiba Inu price predictions remain cautious, with most calling for gradual moves higher rather than a sudden breakout. Still, SHIB’s loyal community and expanding ecosystem keep it on the radar for long-term holders, especially those betting on its metaverse and DeFi ambitions to mature into stronger use cases by 2025. PEPE struggles to reclaim momentum after early hype PEPE exploded onto the meme coin scene in 2023 and gained massive traction with retail investors. However, the token’s parabolic rise was followed by a sharp correction. Currently priced around $0.00001087, PEPE still maintains a large following, but the lack of clear development or new utilities has left holders searching for alternatives with more potential. With many early PEPE investors now down from peak levels, attention has shifted to lower-cap meme coins that offer actual utility and early entry benefits. While PEPE may…
