Description

The CFTC warned that insider trading on prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket is illegal and will be a top enforcement priority, with plans to add investigative staff. The warning follows incidents involving a California politician betting on his own election and a media employee trading on confidential information. Both platforms updated rules to ban nonpublic information-based trades.
