Prediction market Kalshi has introduced new restrictions for users aged 18 to 20. The platform, which is regulated by the CFTC, implemented a monthly deposit limit of $2,500 for this demographic.
Additionally, the exchange is introducing automated alerts for newer users. These notifications trigger if a trader allocates more than 25% of their total balance into a single market contract.
The company is collaborating with Parent ProTech and ConnectSafely to release educational materials for parents. These guides aim to explain the mechanics of prediction markets.
Data from the platform indicates that users aged 18 to 20 account for 4% of Kalshi's total trading volume. The median age of a trader on the exchange is 29.
These measures follow previous security updates in 2026, including the implementation of mandatory facial recognition and enhanced two-factor authentication.
