The NBA is currently navigating a landscape without clear regulations concerning on-chain prediction platforms, leading to uncertainty regarding player involvement. According to NS3.AI, this regulatory gap has allowed star player Giannis Antetokounmpo to become a shareholder in Kalshi Sports after the NBA trade deadline, thereby avoiding scrutiny during active betting periods. Kalshi experienced a significant betting volume of $23.31 million on the possibility of Giannis being traded, which coincided with the Milwaukee Bucks' decision not to trade him.
