The CEO of the predictive trading platform Kalshi recently spoke out on social media, pointing out that the main issue related to Venezuela stems from unregulated offshore prediction platforms. Kalshi stated that it adopts a zero-tolerance approach to insider trading and actively supports new legislative proposals by US lawmakers—banning government officials from engaging in insider trading on similar platforms.

This stance reflects a synchronized approach between compliant prediction platforms and regulatory authorities: preventing the abuse of power in trading markets through clear legal frameworks. Industry experts generally believe that such legislative efforts will help enhance the transparency and credibility of the entire prediction market ecosystem, and further delineate the boundaries between regulated operational platforms and gray-area platforms.

Offshore platforms are really disgusting, only knowing how to engage in shady trading. It's a bit ironic, Kalshi is shouting so loudly, but they probably haven't been spared either. Zero tolerance? Let's wait until officials are actually arrested before saying that. Regulatory platforms VS gray areas, in simple terms, it's about抢 market share. This legislation will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, that's too optimistic, everyone. If regulation really comes, how many platforms will have to shut down? Are you guys ready? Always shouting transparency, but the market is still so murky, interesting. I just want to know how Kalshi guarantees that there are no front-running on their platform. Who will answer this question? Officials speculating on prediction markets... really outrageous, it's something you can think of. Legislation proposals are just hearsay; let's see if they can actually be implemented before saying more.

The offshore platform system should have been regulated long ago... Compliant platforms and gray-area platforms are two different things.

Well said, Kalshi has a stable stance this time, but those offshore platforms should have been regulated long ago. --- Regarding the regulatory framework... it sounds right, but I'm just worried that enforcement will be another story. --- Haha, government officials banning insider trading, they really need to investigate thoroughly. --- Offshore platforms are doing this, why should compliant platforms suffer? --- Finally someone dares to speak out, the industry needs voices like this. --- It's just a matter of whitelist and blacklist; once the dividing line is clear, it’s over. --- Kalshi's move is quite interesting; their compliance advantage is now highlighted. --- Wait, will this legislation really pass? It all feels like just slogans. --- Transparency and credibility... we've been saying this for years, but it's still the same.

Offshore platforms are really hopeless. Kalshi's recent move shows they’ve figured out how to use compliance as a weapon against competitors—brilliant. The issue of officials trading cryptocurrencies should have been banned long ago. There were countless insider trading scandals before. Compliance platforms ≠ safety. Don’t be brainwashed; the key is liquidity and risk control. If this bill actually passes, knockoff prediction platforms will be crying their eyes out—serves them right. Legislation is slow, and by the time it’s truly enforced, it might be years later... Kalshi wants to become the industry leader, and they need to pave the way with this kind of attitude. Insider trading has long been an open secret in the crypto world. Acting now is a bit late. The transparency of prediction markets sounds good, but I’m worried it might just become another tool to cut the leeks.

Offshore platforms and those shady operations should have been regulated long ago. Compliance is the long-term business strategy. --- Kalshi's move this time is just trying to shift the blame onto gray-area platforms. Things on their side are actually quite complicated... --- Government officials' insider trading ban? Just listen, as for enforcement... well --- Basically, big platforms want to clear out the old and push small players to the limit. Industry concentration is getting higher and higher. --- A zero-tolerance attitude is good, but the real problem is that no one can fully regulate the data flow. --- This legislation is at least two years late. The Venezuela incident is a bloody lesson. --- Standardization is definitely the right direction, but all stakeholders are secretly doing their own little tricks. --- Another big shot showing off compliance muscles. Trust me, you can never outsmart bugs with just insecticide.
