Hollywood Studios Ban Staff From Betting on Prediction Markets With Insider Info
Current overview (not historical)
Hollywood studios and production companies have recently and quietly issued guidelines prohibiting staff from using insider information to place bets on prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket. The banned subjects include casting decisions, release dates, and earnings announcements. At least one company has set up an anonymous reporting hotline, and Penske Media has updated its employee handbook to reflect the new restrictions. The move extends conventional stock-market insider-trading bans to blockchain-based prediction platforms, though enforcement is expected to be difficult.
