Kalshi seeks incentive shutdown amid scrutiny of ether trading activity

Kalshi filed to terminate its volume incentive programme while the CFTC examines roughly 5 billion dollars of near-identical ether perpetual trades. Both Kalshi and Polymarket deny wash-trading allegations, and the report says removing the incentives creates a data gap for assessing liquidity during the NFL season.

Kalshi has filed to terminate its volume incentive programme as the CFTC examines roughly 5 billion dollars in near-identical ether perpetual trades, according to iGamingHouse.

The filing puts the proposed withdrawal of trading incentives alongside regulatory scrutiny of the transactions. The supplied summary does not establish a causal link between the two developments.

Allegations and a liquidity measurement gap

Both Kalshi and Polymarket deny wash-trading allegations, according to iGamingHouse. The reported CFTC examination does not, on the information provided, establish that misconduct occurred.

The report also says removing the incentives creates a data gap for assessing liquidity during the NFL season. That leaves the programme’s termination relevant not only to the scrutiny of trading activity, but also to how market conditions can be evaluated.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Volume needs context: The examination concerns roughly 5 billion dollars in near-identical trades; that figure alone does not resolve the wash-trading allegations.
  • Liquidity assessment faces a gap: According to iGamingHouse, removing the incentives complicates evaluation of liquidity during the NFL season.
  • The outcome remains unresolved: Kalshi and Polymarket deny the allegations, and the supplied summary gives no finding from the CFTC examination.
