Polymarket releases new market ethics rules, strengthening bans on insider trading and manipulation.

CoinFeed reported on March 23 that prediction market platform Polymarket announced updates to its Market Integrity rules for its DeFi platform and CFTC-regulated exchanges in the United States, and launched a dedicated Market Integrity page. The new rules explicitly prohibit three types of insider trading: trading using stolen confidential information, trading based on illegally leaked information, and contract trading by participants who can influence the outcome of events. In addition to insider trading, the rules prohibit fraud, market manipulation (including wash trading, wash trading, and fake transactions), self-trading, front-running, information abuse, and disrupting market order.
