Polymarket Enhances Market Integrity with New Insider Trading Restrictions

Polymarket, a leading provider of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and regulated exchanges, has strengthened its market integrity rules to prevent insider trading and unfair advantages.

The updated policies categorize prohibited insider trading into three clear types: trading on stolen or confidential information, trading on illegal tips, and trading by individuals with positions of authority that could affect an event's outcome. These restrictions are now explicitly defined in the platform's Terms of Use and US Rulebook.

Polymarket has also reinforced rules against market manipulation, including spoofing, wash trading, front-running, fictitious transactions, and self-dealing. The platform employs multi-layered surveillance to detect suspicious behavior and prevent disruptions to orderly market operations.
