Kalshi ties up with Nasdaq to bolster trade surveillance By Reuters

Investing.com · · International · Surveillance & Civil Liberties

Why this matters: Prediction markets are growing fast and attracting serious money. When that happens, the pressure to manipulate outcomes grows with it. Nasdaq's surveillance technology was built to catch bad actors in traditional markets. Bringing it to Kalshi suggests the platform is preparing for more scrutiny, more volume, or both. Who watches the trades matters as much as who makes them.
