X Perspective

Feeds treat a recap as a new exchange deal.

This paper has been printing the Kalshi deal as prior through the catch-up week. [1] Saturday has no new sports-betting paper in fetched copy. Prior is not new. A recap is not a second deal. Print prior. Do not print a new filing. Leave a named annex to the edition that owns an annex.

No Saturday Kalshi stamp is in exchange copy, so prior remains the deal and a recap is not a second paper.
A prior Kalshi deal is still prior. Saturday recap that treats a recap as a new exchange paper is a feed, not a stamp.
No CFTC-style annex is in Saturday's Kalshi stack.
Saturday produced no Kalshi annex, and the archive keeps the last named one.

Election betting drove prediction markets into the mainstream and into regulators' sights. Sports remain the red line leagues defend. Saturday moved neither market nor line.

Saturday's lack of a pact is unremarkable; most Saturdays have none. Unremarkable is the story. The seal stays missing.

Missing seals stay missing; Saturday moved neither market nor line. Election betting is another desk. Sports remain the red line.

Most Saturdays have no pact. This one is unremarkable. The seal stays missing.

Kalshi's last named paper remains prior, not a Saturday annex. Exchange copy added no CFTC-style stamp and no second sports-betting deal. Leagues still draw the line at sports. A recap does not reopen that file.
Leagues still draw the line at sports. Exchange copy added no CFTC-style stamp. A recap does not reopen that file.
