Kalshi and StarCompliance launch the first enterprise compliance tool built to monitor employee prediction market trades in real time.
Kalshi is teaming up with StarCompliance to give financial firms a way to monitor employee prediction market activity. The two companies announced the partnership on Wednesday.
StarCompliance is a widely used compliance technology provider. Financial firms rely on it to track employee trading in equities and derivatives markets.
The integration marks the first enterprise-grade compliance solution built specifically for prediction markets.

How the Kalshi and StarCompliance Integration Works
According to a press release, employees at firms using StarCompliance will link their Kalshi accounts directly to the platform.
StarCompliance’s software, built specifically for this partnership, will track trades in real time. It will also flag suspicious activity to compliance teams at those firms.
The system monitors transaction volume, trading patterns, market categories, and activity during work hours. It covers both on-chain and off-chain prediction market environments.
Kelvin Dickenson, Chief Product Officer at StarCompliance, noted the growing risk firms face.
He said prediction markets represent an emerging area of employee conduct and material nonpublic information risk. Moreover, he said that firms need surveillance tools that adapt across different jurisdictions.
The solution offers configurable alerts based on risk parameters firms set themselves. It also includes centralized case management for investigations and audit tracking.
Firms can align oversight to their own policies, risk tolerance, and applicable regulations.

Why Institutional Demand Drove This Partnership
The deal grew out of a direct conversation between Kalshi and a large New York-based hedge fund.
Max Crowley, Kalshi’s vice president of business development, told Barron’s the fund wanted to hedge risk on Kalshi through an institutional account.
The fund said it could not trade yet because Kalshi lacked a StarCompliance integration. That conversation led directly to building one.
Crowley said compliance infrastructure is what Kalshi needs to grow its trading volume.
He described the firm as “compliance-obsessed.” Without tools like this, financial institutions stay on the sidelines.
Kalshi’s Broader Push on Insider Trading Risk
This partnership is not Kalshi’s first move to address insider trading concerns.
The week before the announcement, Kalshi said it would ask traders to disclose their employer when trading in markets more prone to insider trading risk. The StarCompliance integration extends that effort into a more structured, institutional-grade framework.
Crowley said institutional adoption of prediction markets is accelerating. He said firms now need compliance infrastructure that keeps pace with regulatory expectations.
StarCompliance and Kalshi say they will continue working together as prediction market regulations and supervisory expectations evolve.
