Kalshi has rolled out mandatory employment verification for traders in sensitive markets, among other measures to combat insider trading and market manipulation on the platform.
In a Tuesday blog post, the company said it has introduced a risk-scoring system for markets, expanded screening requirements, and launched new whistleblower tools that allow users to report abusive trading activity directly.
The new measures are "effective immediately" in response to a report from its independent Surveillance Audit Committee, which was established in February to oversee the platform's market integrity and enforcement program, according to the post.
Under the new framework, proposed markets will receive a risk score based on factors including market importance, regulatory compliance, insider trading risk, and national security concerns.
"By running an assessment on the national security risk a market might present before we list it, we can better prevent dangerous events from having a negative effect on our markets — or vice versa," Bobby DeNault, Kalshi's enforcement and legal counsel, wrote in the post.
