Kalshi Bolsters Surveillance Systems with Nasdaq-Grade Oversight
Kalshi, the largest CFTC-regulated prediction market in the US, is upgrading its trade surveillance infrastructure to court institutional traders. The platform has been systematically modernizing its systems by modeling them after those used by Nasdaq and the NYSE.
This move comes at a pivotal moment for the company as it navigates a $36 billion lawsuit while trying to convince sophisticated investors that prediction markets are more than a novelty.
Kalshi has been methodical in its compliance buildout, partnering with Solidus Labs in February 2026 to strengthen its ability to detect market abuse. In August 2026, it added another layer by teaming up with Comply, a compliance provider that gives institutional clients the ability to track employee trading activities on the platform.
The company has also deployed its own monitoring systems, including an alert tool called IC360. The combination of in-house technology and third-party solutions creates a multi-layered surveillance framework.
