The New Insider Risk: Prediction Markets and the Monetization of Corporate Information

• Understand why prediction markets are expanding the population of potential insiders

• Assess the evolving federal and state regulatory landscape and its implications for organizations

• Identify conflicts of interest, behavioral risks, and incentive misalignment created by event-based trading

• Update insider trading policies, codes of conduct, governance controls, and employee training to address emerging risks

Prediction markets are expanding the concept of who may be considered an insider. Employees with operational visibility, project knowledge, or access to confidential business information may be able to profit from company-related events without buying or selling securities. This shift creates new conflicts of interest, introduces the potential for misaligned incentives, and challenges long-standing assumptions underlying insider compliance programs. 

For general counsel, the implications extend beyond insider trading. In this session, we will explore how prediction markets are changing corporate insider risk and what these developments mean. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of prediction market risks and how to address governance programs to address emerging threats.
