"It is up to us to make rules of the road for our platform, whether Congress does or not," DeNault said. "We've done that here in an expansive way in that we police all campaign individuals, whether they have insider information or not, from placing trades."

Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee is actively investigating both Kalshi and Polymarket for their enforcement efforts against insider trading.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., launched the investigation after the April federal indictment against a U.S. soldier for allegedly using classified information to trade on the U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January.

Comer had threatened to subpoena the prediction markets, but both Kalshi and Polymarket are cooperating with the investigation, according to the committee.
