Kalshi says it is not being investigated by the CFTC over trading activity
Summary
Kalshi said it has not been contacted by the CFTC and does not believe it is under formal examination, responding to reports that the regulator was reviewing trading on its bitcoin and ether perpetual markets. Reports cited unusually high volumes of identically sized trades, including repeated $5,500 ether trades. Researcher Beni said those trades accounted for 48% to 58% of notional volume on four September days, while one 24-hour period showed $539 million in ether volume against $3.1 million in open interest. Kalshi attributed the patterns to its liquidity incentive program, said it regularly shares data with the CFTC, and cited surveillance measures against wash trading. The CFTC did not comment.
