The real issue here isn't just the insider trading -- it's how thin Kalshi and Polymarket orderbooks are on niche events. You can move the price 10-15 cents on a binary contract with a few thousand dollars. That makes insider trading on these platforms both incredibly easy and incredibly profitable compared to traditional securities markets where you'd need serious capital to materially move the price.
