[Wintermute CEO Opposes Insider Trading in Prediction Markets] On January 6, Wintermute founder and CEO Evgeny Gaevoy expressed his opposition to insider trading in prediction markets, stating that if insider trading were normalized, it would be glorified as a feature rather than a flaw, which is regrettable. He expressed strong disdain for those engaging in insider trading on platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi and emphasized that even the slightest hint of non-public information should be a firm reason to avoid trading in related markets. He pointed out that insider traders could face legal risks for engaging in insider trading on Polymarket and stressed that such behavior is highly unethical, as it exploits uninformed users for profit.
