These numbers not only broke internal records but also placed Kalshi ahead of similar platforms such as Polymarket during the same timeframe.

Kalshi's recent achievements have coincided with greater integration with external platforms. The platform's market data is available on Google Finance, and some reports indicate that Coinbase $2.5B is exploring launching a prediction market feature that would likely involve Kalshi's technology.

The funds from this raise are expected to support Kalshi's growth-focused projects. These include expanding service options, partnering with news agencies, and deeper integration with online brokerages to reach a broader audience.

As a platform that operates under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules, Kalshi emphasizes compliance with US regulations. This legal clarity distinguishes it from less regulated, decentralized competitors like Polymarket.

Kalshi recently started allowing users to trade digital versions of its event contracts on the Solana SOL $142.08 blockchain. What did John Wang, Kalshi’s head of crypto, say? Read the full story.
