Kalshi has removed all badge icons associated with non-employee X accounts

On February 24, the prediction platform Kalshi removed all non-employee affiliated badge icons on X, which were mainly used for external partners, promoters, or community members. Affiliated badges on X are used to verify organizational functions; organizations can add badges to accounts related to them to indicate official association, enhance credibility, and prevent impersonation. On February 22, X product director Nikita Bier stated that X will introduce a paid promotional content disclosure feature (including ads from Kalshi, Polymarket, etc.), and failure to disclose will result in account suspension.
