Генеральний директор Kalshi підтримує законопроект про заборону внутрішньої торгівлі на ринках прогнозів, заявляючи, що платформа вже заздалегідь впровадила відповідні правила

Odaily Planet Daily News — Tarek Mansour, CEO of prediction market platform Kalshi, stated his support for the “Public Integrity Financial Prediction Market Act of 2026” championed by U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres. The bill aims to prohibit insider trading activities in prediction markets. Mansour noted that Kalshi has already implemented prohibitions on insider trading in its platform rules.

According to the introduction, the bill would prohibit federal elected officials, political appointees, and administrative agency employees from participating in prediction market trading involving government policies, government actions, or political outcomes. The legislative background is related to recent market controversies: Previously, an account on decentralized prediction market Polymarket wagered that Venezuelan President Maduro would be removed from office before the end of January and earned approximately 400,000 in gains after the related events occurred, raising external concerns about trading using government internal 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. Meanwhile, he pointed out that the bill applies only to regulated platforms within the U.S., while current controversies are primarily concentrated on non-U.S., unregulated platforms.

Data shows that in December 2025, both Kalshi and Polymarket achieved record monthly trading volumes, with Kalshi at approximately 6.26 billion and Polymarket at approximately 2.28 billion. Since March 2025, Kalshi’s trading volume has consistently led. (The Block)
