Where it stands
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have implemented bans or limits on staff trading on prediction market platforms. These policies specifically address employee participation in betting on financial and political outcomes.
Coverage from the New York Times, Reuters, Financial Times, PYMNTS.com, Startup Fortune, and the New York Post highlights these actions as part of a broader trend among financial firms. Reports indicate that these decisions are driven by internal compliance concerns regarding prediction platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi.
It remains to be seen whether other financial institutions will adopt similar restrictions. Coverage does not yet specify the regulatory implications of these internal bans or if additional platforms will be included in the firm-wide prohibitions.
