A federal judge in the Southern District of Ohio has denied Kalshi's motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to stop state authorities from regulating its sports event contracts.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan argued in a Tuesday memo that bitcoin could eventually trade at $1 million per coin if it captures a larger slice of the global store-of-value market. He noted that this market is currently just under $38 trillion, with bitcoin at about 4%, and projected it could grow to roughly $121 trillion within a decade. Under that scenario, bitcoin would need to reach around a 17% share of the market to justify a $1 million price, although Hougan also highlighted risks around slower market growth and bitcoin's adoption.
