The Sharp Edge: Jon Stettin breaks down the insider trading cases piling up on Kalshi and Polymarket — from a hair dryer on a weather sensor to Trump’s teleprompter operator — as prediction market volume nears $24 billion a month.

Kalshi and Polymarket volume has gone from under $5 billion a month to roughly $24 billion in under a year — and the insider trading cases are stacking up right along with it.
Jon runs through the wildest ones: a trader accused of using a hair dryer on an airport weather sensor, a Google engineer allegedly trading on internal search data, a Special Forces sergeant accused of betting on classified intel, and the biggest one yet — Trump’s own teleprompter operator allegedly betting on which words the president would say.
He also gets into why this isn’t unique to gambling, what the White House has already warned staff about, and where The Sharp Edge is looking to find a legal edge in these markets. Subscribe for new episodes every week and let us know which story shocked you most.
