Comply is adding Kalshi contract-trading data to its compliance platform, allowing financial firms to monitor employees’ prediction-market activity alongside securities, futures, options, cryptoassets and other investments.
The integration extends existing employee-trading controls to a market that may fall outside firms’ traditional personal account dealing programmes. Compliance teams will be able to configure monitoring rules and pre-clearance requirements, analyse trading patterns and investigate potential policy breaches through Comply’s case-management workflow.
The platform will ingest Kalshi contract trades in real time, according to Comply. Firms can use the data to identify trades that employees have not disclosed and assess whether trading activity conflicts with internal policies governing material non-public information (MNPI).
Compliance teams will also be able to document investigations, findings and remedial action within the platform. Additional controls include employee certifications covering contract-trading policies and consulting support for risk assessments and policy reviews.
“Prediction markets have grown faster than most compliance frameworks were designed to handle,” said Michael Stanton, CEO of Comply. “Compliance teams don’t need a separate solution – with Comply, they can monitor contract trades alongside equities, bonds, options, futures, and crypto in a single platform.”
The Kalshi partnership broadens Comply’s existing coverage of prediction markets. The company also monitors trades conducted through Polymarket using data supplied under its partnership with cryptocurrency tax and accounting platform ZenLedger.
Max Crowley, vice president of business development at Kalshi, said financial services firms were “navigating new territory as prediction markets become mainstream”. He added that the partnership was intended to incorporate employee prediction-market activity into firms’ existing compliance programmes.
“Most firms are still figuring out what a reasonably designed prediction market compliance program looks like, and that’s exactly where we come in. Comply brings both the technology and the regulatory expertise to build programs that hold up under scrutiny,” said Jamila Mayfield, Chief Regulatory Service Officer of Comply.
