Kalshi to require users disclose employer before trading

Published Jun 22, 2026 Updated 16h ago

Kalshi has announced new compliance measures requiring users to disclose their employer before placing bets. The CFTC-registered exchange is addressing insider-trading risks as prediction markets expand into corporate and economic event contracts. The platform has already pursued enforcement cases against individuals who traded while in possession of material non-public information. Skadden published guidance on managing these risks for corporate compliance officers as prediction markets grow in prominence. The employer disclosure rule follows Kalshi's earlier mandate for high-risk prediction market trades.

Why this matters?

Kalshi must now prove its employment-verification systems can intercept informed traders before they profit. Any surveillance gap leaves the CFTC-registered exchange exposed as a co-defendant when DOJ and CFTC file parallel insider-trading actions.
