Today's Underlying Theme
The boundaries of insider information are being redefined. A Google employee is sued for betting with search trend data, "statistically impossible" win rates appear on Polymarket—behind it all lies the same question: when AI turns information asymmetry from "industry secrets" into "data advantages," are traditional insider trading laws still sufficient?

The speed at which the market votes with its feet may outpace regulatory legislation.
