New York startup company Kalshi began taking what amounts to bets on the outcome of the November congressional elections after a judge refused to block them from doing so.

Ruling allows the company, at least temporarily, to offer prediction contracts on which party will win control of the Senate and the House in November .

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission , which last year prohibited the company from offering them, said it would appeal the ruling.
