Show Notes
Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket gained traction as traders bet on US-Iran conflict, with one anonymous bettor making over half a million dollars before key events. These platforms, which also cover sports and elections, are pitched as superior information sources, but critics argue they blur lines between news and gambling, creating incentives for insider trading. Kalshi recently faced insider trading fines, and regulatory battles are heating up as states push back against these platforms, fearing lost gambling taxes and moral issues.
