Kalshi said in a statement on June 9, 2026, that it will immediately require employment disclosure and verification for traders in certain sensitive contracts and launch a whistleblower portal to curb insider trading and align the platform with regulatory expectations.
Market Integrity Controls and Reporting Tools
Kalshi (P-KALS), a CFTC-regulated U.S. prediction-market operator, will mandate that traders disclose and verify their employer before participating in certain sensitive or high-risk contracts. The company said this step aims to reduce insider trading and manipulation risks in prediction markets.
Alongside this, Kalshi is launching a whistleblower portal and new in-page reporting tools that allow users to flag suspicious trading directly from market pages. Tips submitted through the platform will be reviewed by a surveillance team monitoring activity 24/7. These user-facing tools are part of broader guardrails designed to detect and evaluate unusual trading flows in real time.
Surveillance Framework and Risk Scoring
Kalshi established an independent Surveillance Audit Committee to oversee its market-integrity and enforcement program. The committee recommended the new measures, which Kalshi is adopting to strengthen compliance.
Under the new framework, Kalshi will assign risk scores to markets based on factors such as corporate performance metrics, product launches, outcome concentration, national-security implications, and potential for manipulation. Contracts classified as “high-risk” or “sensitive” will face heightened controls, including mandatory employment disclosure.
The company said it is shifting toward institutional-grade infrastructure and intends the risk-scoring system to be dynamic, applying enhanced controls where concentrated or time-sensitive exposure is detected. This approach targets controls to limit intrusion on lower-risk markets.
Secondary reporting noted that Kalshi opened more than 150 investigations and blocked over 100 potential insider trades this year, illustrating enforcement activity that preceded these policy changes. The screening and tip-handling processes are now formalized within a committee-backed compliance structure.
