North Carolina Passes Bill Recognizing CFTC Authority Over Prediction Markets, Imposes 6% Tax on July 7

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein signed legislation on July 7 recognizing the CFTC's exclusive federal regulatory authority over prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket. Senate Bill 257, enacted as part of the state's 2026 budget, imposes a 6% tax on operators' net trading fee revenue attributable to North Carolina residents effective January 1, 2027, with no additional licensing or registration requirements. The tax rate is substantially lower than the 23% rate applied to sports betting operators in the state.
