Odaily Xinsheng Daily News: Tarek Mansour, CEO of prediction market platform Kalshi, expressed support for the “Public Integrity Financial Prediction Market Act of 2026” pushed by U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres, which aims to prohibit insider trading activities in prediction markets. Mansour pointed out that Kalshi has already implemented prohibitions on insider trading in its platform rules.

According to reports, the bill would prohibit federal elected officials, political appointees, and executive branch employees from participating in prediction market trading involving government policy, government action, or political outcomes. The legislative background is related to recent market controversies: previously, an account on decentralized prediction market Polymarket placed bets that Venezuelan President Maduro would be removed by the end of January and received approximately $400,000 in gains after the related events occurred, raising external concerns about trading using government insider information.

Mansour emphasized in his statement that a distinction should be made between U.S. regulated prediction market platforms and unregulated overseas platforms. He stated that Kalshi, as a federally regulated platform, has adopted insider trading rules similar to those of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, prohibiting users with non-public information from participating in related market trading. At the same time, he pointed out that the bill only applies to regulated platforms on U.S. soil, and current controversies are mainly concentrated on non-U.S., unregulated platforms.

Data shows that in December 2025, both Kalshi and Polymarket’s monthly trading volumes reached historic highs, with Kalshi at approximately $6.26 billion and Polymarket at approximately $2.28 billion. Since March 2025, Kalshi’s trading volume has maintained a leading position. (The Block)
