The Wall Street Journal: Predicts market Kalshi nearly one million similar transactions attract attention

According to The Wall Street Journal, traders on the prediction market platform Kalshi have executed nearly 1 million trades of nearly identical amounts in a single market since August, an unusual activity that has drawn the attention of federal regulators and traders. Kalshi stated that these trades represent normal activity, and the company does not disclose the identities of traders in its public data.

The Wall Street Journal's analysis of publicly available trading data found that in recent weeks, more than one-third of trades in the Ethereum price speculation market consisted of rapid trades around the same order size of approximately $5,500. These rapid trades, all close to $5,500, occurred in a single Kalshi market, totaling about $5 billion.
