Traders in certain markets will be asked to submit details on their employment, Kalshi said. <\/p>\n<p>The move comes amid rising scrutiny of possible insider trading on prediction markets. Federal prosecutors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/05\/27\/google-employee-polymarket-insider-trading.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">charged<\/a> a Google employee with fraud in May, noting the employee made over a million from insider information on Polymarket.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/finance\/regulation\/kalshi-plans-to-require-users-disclose-where-they-work-to-make-certain-trades-7c6ada99?mod=breakingnews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> first reported that Kalshi will require traders to disclose their employer&#8217;s identity in certain cases. <\/p>\n<p>Kalshi said it will provide three features, including risk scoring, which will provide a &#8220;risk score&#8221; to markets having possible insider trading or manipulation risk. The platform will have six ways of measuring a market&#8217;s risk, including if it is a concern for national security or if the market is acceptable under current regulation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the market&#8217;s score meets a certain benchmark, participants will require employment verification. Kalshi said it will screen traders &#8220;before a trade is ever placed.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The platform will also have enhanced whistleblower features that will let traders report abusive trading activity on any market any time of the day. The platform built &#8220;internal alerting controls&#8221; to collect whistleblower tips from traders, which will go to the surveillance team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By implementing these new integrity measures, we continue to lead the industry on the issue of market integrity amongst federally regulated prediction markets,&#8221; said Robert DeNault, Kalshi Head of Enforcement. <\/p>\n<p>For the first quarter, Kalshi said it&#8217;s stopped over a hundred possible insider trading incidents using its new screening tools. <\/p>\n<p>Kalshi said the committee will continue to provide quarterly reports. <\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: CNBC and Kalshi have a commercial relationship that includes customer acquisition and a minority investment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cheng Xin | Getty Images News | Getty Images Kalshi said Tuesday that it will roll out measures&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":694732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[38080,116,28,122,301135,112],"class_list":["post-694731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-alphabet-class-a","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-daniel-taylor","tag-markets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=694731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/694732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=694731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=694731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=694731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
