Kalshi, a prediction market platform, is introducing new safeguards aimed at reducing insider trading and market manipulation, following increasing scrutiny of prediction markets. Multiple outlets report that Kalshi will require some users to disclose their employer information before trading in certain higher-risk markets. The policy applies selectively: it focuses on markets that Kalshi says are more likely to face insider trading or abuse, rather than all bets on the platform.
In addition to employer disclosure, Kalshi is implementing other integrity measures. Sources describe a risk-scoring system that assigns markets a level of concern related to insider trading and manipulation. The platform also adds tools intended to improve compliance and reporting, including whistleblower-related capabilities. Some reporting notes that the approach could create a hurdle for users who are expected to provide employment details.
The announcement is described as part of a broader effort to strengthen security and market integrity, after advisory recommendations and public concerns about suspicious trading activity in the prediction market sector.
