Should prediction markets be open to insider trading? This question has recently sparked considerable discussion within the industry. On December 4th, the CEO of a leading exchange and the head of BlackRock met at the DealBook Summit 2025, where they discussed the emerging field of prediction markets. The exchange executive's view is quite interesting — he believes prediction markets have enormous potential and can create value for the vast majority of participants, but he also raised a thought-provoking question: as prediction markets are opened up, how should regulators balance information symmetry and market innovation? This is not only a technical issue but also a policy issue.

Insider trading never stops once it starts; I've seen this trick too many times.

The comeback prediction market... Are they opening it again? Truly daring.

Basically, it's just about wanting to give big players a backdoor. Nice words can be spoken by anyone.

Hmm... once the insider trading loophole opens, it can't be stopped, and retail investors will still get cut.
