Crypto News reported that Wall Street banks, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, are restricting employees’ trading on prediction market platforms due to concerns about insider trading risk. Goldman Sachs has banned employees from trading event contracts related to the bank, including contracts tied to financial market, macroeconomic events, elections, and geopolitical events. A source at Morgan Stanley also said the firm has relevant policies regarding employees’ prediction market trading. The move has drawn attention from the White House and U.S. lawmakers, who have proposed legislation to limit government officials from trading on political prediction markets.

I support legislative restrictions on officials trading based on political predictions, but it’s hard to say how that will be implemented.

Morgan Stanley is following up really fast—sure enough, the wind direction on Wall Street is consistent.

The market used to be pretty transparent, but once banks banned it, it made them look guilty.

Employee: I bet the Federal Reserve would cut rates, and the result—my boss found out first. Whose insider info is that, then?

Goldman’s move is quite ironic—every day it plays with inside information, yet it doesn’t let employees touch prediction markets.
