Investing.com – According to Axios, prediction market platform Kalshi plans to prevent athletes, coaches, and officials from betting on the sports events they participate in, and will ban political candidates from trading on markets related to their campaigns.

The company is expected to announce on Monday that it will proactively prevent professional and college sports participants from trading on their teams or leagues. Political candidates will also be prohibited from trading on markets related to their campaigns.

These two types of insider trading have previously violated Kalshi’s rules, but this new measure will establish a mechanism to prevent individuals in these positions from engaging in such trades at the source.

Prediction markets are facing increasing pressure to prevent insider trading, with some advocating for even stricter measures to completely ban these platforms from operating in high-conflict markets.
