A U.S. politician was banned from the Kalshi platform and fined for insider trading
Svmuu News: A political candidate who previously ran for governor of California has been banned from Kalshi for violating insider trading rules. During last year’s campaign, the candidate placed a bet of approximately $200 on his own chances of winning and posted about it on X. Kalshi imposed a five-year ban and a $2,000 fine. The description points to Kyle Langford, who is currently running for Congress. Additionally, a YouTube editor was hit with a two-year ban and a fine of approximately $20,000 for using non-public information to execute about $4,000 in market trades between August and September 2025. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that the agency has established a Predictive Markets Advisory Committee aimed at collaborating with industry participants to combat insider trading, and warned that violators will face legal consequences.
