Robinhood Limits Some Predictive Market Contracts Due to Concerns Over Insider Manipulation
ME News update: On April 12 (UTC+8), as it expands its prediction market business, Robinhood has taken cautious measures. UK President Jordan Sinclair said the company excludes certain prediction market contracts because it is concerned about “market abuse and insider trading,” especially “mention market” contracts. These contracts allow users to place bets on specific words from particular speeches or briefings, but they are easy to manipulate, which goes against customers’ interests. Compared with other unregulated platforms, Robinhood is committed to offering regulated event contracts.
Recent incidents—such as abnormal bets on the Polymarket platform before the US attack on Iran, and reports that Israel used confidential information to bet on military actions—have drawn attention. In response, Robinhood chose to partner with Kalshi, which is regulated in the United States, rather than Polymarket. Robinhood requires users to complete identity verification to place bets on various events, while Polymarket uses crypto wallets to enable anonymous trading, highlighting clear differences in regulatory standards.
