Kalshiは予測市場に関する政策立案者への働きかけを行うため、「Americans for Fair Markets」という新たな擁護団体を立ち上げた。この動きは、米下院監視委員会がインサイダー取引の懸念からKalshiとPolymarketに対する調査を開始した中で行われた。
下院監視委員会のジェームズ・カマー委員長は金曜日、PolymarketとKalshiの最高経営責任者（CEO）に対し、本人確認、地理的制限、疑わしい取引活動の監視に関する内部記録の提出を求める書簡を送付した。カマー氏は、政府職員が機密情報を利用して、これらのプラットフォーム上で政策や国家安全保障に関するイベントから利益を得ている可能性があるとの懸念を表明した。
X（旧Twitter）での初期の反応は、議会調査を受けたKalshiによる新ロビー団体の設立を伝える中立的なニュース報道が中心であり、ユーザーによる目立った追加のコメントは見られない。

Minnesota lawmakers have advanced legislation aimed at restricting prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket, setting up a clash with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which argues federal law gives it exclusive authority over many of those products.
Prediction market platforms are still detecting attempts by campaign staffers to place bets on political races, despite new monitoring systems and growing scrutiny over insider trading.
