TechFlow News, June 10: According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Kalshi—a regulated prediction market platform—plans to introduce new employer disclosure requirements for certain markets involving material nonpublic information within the coming weeks. Users will be required to submit an online form specifying their employer to strengthen monitoring of insider trading and market manipulation. Markets expected to be covered include those related to corporate earnings, national security, and the Iran war.
Kalshi stated that it typically does not proactively verify employment information; however, if suspicious trading activity is detected, it will initiate an investigation and request official proof of employment. The report noted that Kalshi’s audit committee has also recommended enhancing its whistleblower mechanism and disclosed that Kalshi referred over 20 suspicious cases to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Department of Justice in Q1 2026.
