Matt Kalish probly just pissed at Kalshi cause his name sounds exactly like Kalshi so he’s like “I founded a sports betting platform” and people are like “Oh Kalshi?” and he’s like no actually DraftKings we have a prediction market now and then he doesn’t get laid
Donald Trump is making protecting prediction markets a priority. His son is a paid strategic advisor for Kalshi, and a major investor and advisor for Polymarket. The Trump administration is using taxpayer money to protect his family’s investments. This is what corruption looks like.
Sports as a % of total trading volume on Kalshi has been consistently falling since the start of the 2025 NFL season. Sports is now roughly 58% of the total volume. A large part of this is the rise of crypto-related markets. Over time, as new categories emerge, I would argue this drops to teens
