📝 Kalshi raises $300M
News of the Day
Kalshi, the fast-growing prediction market platform that lets users bet on future events, has raised over $300 million at a $5 billion valuation, more than doubling its value in just three months. The round was co-led by Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Paradigm Ventures, CapitalG, and Coinbase Ventures, fueling Kalshi’s expansion to 140 countries as it eyes $50 billion in annualized trading volume—up from just $300 million last year. The raise comes amid a prediction market boom, with rival Polymarket recently valued at $8 billion following ICE’s investment, signalling a new era of mainstream legitimacy for event-based trading. Kalshi, which won the right to operate in the U.S. after suing the CFTC, now stands at the forefront of a rapidly globalizing and increasingly regulated market where speculation meets financial innovation.
First impressions matter, & Meta really blew it with the Ray-Ban Displays.
I was ready to buy them on launch, but instead of letting me order them, they forced me to book an in-person demo, and the soonest slot was at Best Buy.
It was a complete disaster.
