BlockBeats News, February 26th, according to Forbes, a top influencer from the Mr. Beast team's editor was banned by Kalshi for two years and fined around $20,000 for making a $4000 predictive trade using insider information between August and September 2025. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that the agency has established a Prediction Market Advisory Committee to collaborate with industry participants to combat insider trading and warned wrongdoers of legal consequences.
