Kalshi has introduced new rules requiring some users to disclose their employers before trading in high-risk markets. The measures aim to prevent insider trading and market manipulation on the prediction platform.
The federally regulated exchange announced the changes Tuesday. They take effect immediately and apply to markets flagged for elevated risks of abuse. The policy follows recommendations from an independent Surveillance Audit Committee. Kalshi said it will collect employment information to identify traders who may hold material nonpublic details. The company reported blocking more than 100 potential insider trades in the first quarter. It also opened over 150 investigations and referred more than 20 cases to law enforcement. Additional tools include a risk-scoring system for markets and enhanced whistleblower reporting features. A new screening process will evaluate markets based on insider trading risk and other factors.
