According to crypto lawyer Ariel Givner, U.S. District Judge Martha Pacold of the Northern District of Illinois has partially granted preliminary injunction requests filed by Coinbase, Kalshi, the U.S. government, and the CFTC. The ruling temporarily blocks Illinois from imposing sports betting licensing requirements and related criminal penalties on the Kalshi sports event contracts in question. The judge found these contracts are likely swaps as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act, meaning the relevant state laws are likely preempted by federal law.

News Flash from Insight Beating AI: Meta has launched Muse Gadgets, open-sourcing the ESP32 firmware and Linux SDK for connecting to Muse. Developers can use off-the-shelf ESP32 development boards, Raspberry Pi, or Linux devices to build their own Muse-compatible hardware. Screens, microphones, speakers, buttons, and sensors can all be connected, with the code licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. Meta has also introduced Muse Home Link, a compact USB-C device that links Muse to a home local area network, enabling control of devices like lights, televisions, speakers, and printers via community-built skills. Integrations with Philips Hue, Sonos, Apple TV, Google Nest, and Samsung TV are already supported. Meta’s first batch of 5,000 units will be distributed free of charge to US Muse subscribers, with shipping kicking off in October. Earlier, Meta had unveiled the Muse Charm, though it remains unreleased. Now developers no longer need to wait for official hardware; they can create their own Muse-compatible screens, desktop devices, and smart home hubs.

According to market data from BIT (bit.com), U.S. stocks closed higher yesterday, with SKY Treasury Company’s SDEV surging an additional 104.37% to $7.48, bringing its cumulative gain over the past month to 770%.
