Kalshi ties up with Nasdaq to bolster trade surveillance

reuters.com · · International · Surveillance & Civil Liberties

Prediction market platform Kalshi has entered a partnership with Nasdaq to strengthen its trade surveillance capabilities. The arrangement is intended to improve monitoring of trading activity on Kalshi's platform.

Why this matters: Prediction markets are expanding fast, and the rules around them are still catching up. Kalshi adding Nasdaq's surveillance infrastructure signals it wants to look like a serious, regulated exchange. That matters because these platforms let people bet on elections, economic data, and real-world events using real money. Who watches for manipulation, and how, is not a small detail. Surveillance that protects market integrity is legitimate. The question worth tracking is what data gets collected about traders in the process, and who can see it.
