Cointelegraph
Prediction market Kalshi has fined and banned three US political candidates for placing prohibited bets on the outcomes of their own election races.

Summary

The prediction market platform Kalshi has issued fines and five-year bans to three US political candidates—Minnesota State Senator Matt Klein, Mark Moran, and Ezekiel Enriquez—for betting on their own election races. The platform is increasing enforcement against insider trading, asserting that candidates who can influence market outcomes violate exchange rules regardless of wager size. While some participants claimed their actions were intended to test the platform's integrity or out of curiosity, Kalshi remains committed to strict compliance and monitoring to avoid illegal activity.
