Dow Jones Validates Prediction Markets Amidst Insider Trading Concerns
According to reports, Dow Jones has partnered with Polymarket to distribute prediction data across platforms like The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch. This development coincides with Kalshi claiming a significant annualized trading volume. Despite this validation, prediction markets face challenges, including methodological disputes and concerns about insider trading. The New York Stock Exchange owner, ICE, plans a substantial investment in Polymarket, aiming to distribute event-driven data to institutional investors. Other partnerships include CNN and CNBC integrating prediction probabilities and Coinbase featuring Kalshi-based markets. Controversies in 2025 highlighted issues like definition ambiguity and information asymmetry, raising questions about market integrity and the potential for insiders to profit from leaks.
