   4. The exposed records came from Keystone's Shopify store; purchases through Amazon and other channels were not affected, the company said.

   2 outlets · first: Decrypt Market trends

   Machine summary Exchanges, trading firms and policymakers met at Convene Hudson Yards on October 22–23, where the organisers' post counted more than 2,000 attendees, 180 speakers and participants from 47 countries. Kalshi's Nicolas Hull said a contract certified with the CFTC and backed by a verifiable data source can list on the exchange, while Chuck Todd told organiser Pierre Lindh he was "open minded" about whether markets or pollsters would call the midterms.

   1. NEXTPredict paid a $12,000 premium on Kalshi contracts that would have returned about $3 million if more than half of scheduled JFK arrivals were cancelled the day before the event, co-founder Pierre Lindh said.
   2. The contracts did not trigger; Lindh told the October 22 panel he was glad the trade lost, saying "that means we're all here today."
   3. Susquehanna took the other side of the trade and modelled the risk in-house in about a day or two, according to its head of business development Joe Grubb.
   4. Nicolas Hull, a director at Kalshi, said small businesses have begun hedging on the exchange, pointing to a bar in New York that insured a Knicks playoff promotion, and added that with certification from the CFTC and a data source that can be verified, "we can list almost anything."
   5. The conference organisers' post said the October 22–23 gathering at Convene Hudson Yards drew more than 2,000 attendees, 180 speakers and participants from 47 countries.
