Kalshi boosts surveillance ahead of Super Bowl with independent committee

Prediction market exchange Kalshi has initiated enhanced market surveillance protocols ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, reinforcing its commitment to market integrity through the establishment of an independent monitoring committee. The exchange, which offers legally compliant event contracts on various outcomes surrounding the game—such as the length of the national anthem or the result of the coin toss—is preparing for an expected surge in trading volume and public interest.

The newly formed independent committee comprises external compliance experts, former regulatory officials, and experienced data analysts. Its primary mandate is to proactively identify and mitigate risks, including insider trading, potential market manipulation attempts, and technical anomalies that could compromise the fairness of contract resolution. This initiative is designed to supplement Kalshi’s internal algorithmic surveillance systems.

Company officials emphasized that maintaining stringent oversight is crucial for events that attract massive mainstream attention. Tarek Mansour, CEO of Kalshi, stated, ‘The Super Bowl represents one of our most highly traded event series. The independent committee provides an essential layer of impartial oversight, guaranteeing that all contracts are resolved based on accurate, verifiable data and adhere strictly to CFTC regulatory guidelines.’ The heightened surveillance will remain in effect until the final resolution of all related event contracts following the game.
