Kalshi

Kalshi is a federally licensed prediction market that allows users to trade on the outcomes of real-world events. The name itself reflects the company's ambitions, being an Arabic word that translates to "everything," a nod to their stated vision of creating a tradable asset out of virtually any difference of opinion.

Rather than offering traditional securities or sports gambling, Kalshi lists "event contracts," binary instruments priced between one cent and 99 cents that resolve based on whether a specific outcome occurs. Traders can take positions on topics including Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data releases, election results, sports outcomes, and macroeconomic indicators. This structure gives the platform dual utility: retail traders can speculate on events they follow closely, while professionals and institutions can use the contracts as hedging tools or real-time sentiment indicators that respond to new information faster than traditional surveys or polling.

Kalshi received CFTC approval to operate as a DCM in 2020 and began accepting users in 2021, becoming one of the first platforms in the United States to offer federally regulated prediction markets without the strict stake limits that constrained earlier competitors. In 2025, trading volumes surged to over $13 billion monthly by year's end. A partnership with Robinhood, which embedded Kalshi's event contracts directly into the brokerage app, became what analysts described as the fastest-scaling product in Robinhood's history.

Institutional confidence in the platform has been reflected in its fundraising trajectory. By December 2025, Kalshi closed a $1.1 billion Series E round that pushed its valuation to $11 billion. The company's backers include Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and Paradigm, three of the most prominent names in venture capital, alongside strategic data partnerships with CNN and CNBC.
