INCREDIBLE DRAMA IN THE SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP 😱 Celtic win a penalty in the final seconds and Kelechi Iheanacho scores to take the title race to the final day 👀 May 16: Hearts (80 pts) vs. Celtic (79 pts) on @CBSSportsNet. SCENES. 😳

Scrolled through my camera roll and found this.. to anyone ever doubting my Knicks fandom: I ran a Mitchell Robinson fan page his rookie year and he made my year when he reposted one of my edits 🤣 Believed in this guy since the start and so happy that he’s part of our success.

Not touching Knicks-Sixers, but Spurs are grossly mispriced today.

@DLO87 …How? Nabers is still a better player — why you running victory laps because of an injury?

Working at Kalshi has been the highlight of my extremely unusual career. Day in and day out I get to work with brilliant, driven people who get the mission and are completely bought in. We’re now unlocking prediction markets for the massive world of institutional finance. Job’s not finished. 🐺
Tarek Mansour@mansourtarek_

Kalshi raised $1B at a $22B valuation led by Coatue, with participation from Morgan Stanley, Sequoia, a16z, and others. In 2018, we were two kids who loved math, markets, and debate. And we had a dream: build the next generation financial market, where we capture a broader set of questions and harness the power of the masses to price them better than Wall Street. Kalshi was born to fulfill that dream. Today, most of these questions are traded indirectly, priced through imprecise proxies or negotiated bilaterally in opaque, restricted, relationship-driven markets. But thanks to our incredible community of users who make our markets work, Kalshi has the opportunity to change that by turning historically fragmented and untradeable risk into open, liquid, and standardized markets. We’ve seen this movie before. When interest rates, currencies, commodities, and crypto moved from dark to lit markets, volume did not just migrate: access expanded, new use cases emerged, and the opportunity grew by orders of magnitude. Today, Kalshi represents over 90% of US prediction market volume and the majority of activity globally, with annualized volume growing to $178B over the past 6 months. What started as retail is quickly becoming institutional — hedge funds, asset managers, prop firms, and insurers are beginning to trade, provide liquidity, and hedge real-world risk directly. The scope and scale of prediction markets are just beginning to take shape. We’re using this new capital to accelerate the institutional adoption underway — unlocking trillions in capital to facilitate active trading and risk management. Prediction markets are moving from early adoption to core financial infrastructure. This is just the beginning.

When I joined Kalshi back in 2020, the company had just received the regulatory designation it needed to act as a prediction market in the US (after years of work from @luanalopeslara and @mansourtarek_ ), but we still had to actually build the exchange. As an engineer, it felt like such a gift to be a part of that process: the whole team had such conviction in these markets. We dreamed of the day they would be hooked up to trading terminals and referenced by news anchors worldwide. I thought: “if we can just get the systems up and running, people will come.” When we processed our first trade, it felt amazing. But I was also hit with the reality that what we had was not enough: how could we scale to millions of markets a day? How could we support collateral return and margin on events? How do we make even low volume markets liquid? Unlike building a matching engine, these were (and some remain) open questions that hadn’t been solved by a financial exchange before. Thankfully, the team is composed of many of the most hardworking and passionate people I’ve ever met, so though tackling these problems has meant a lot of late nights, it’s never meant a late night alone (shout out to @_rainerds who has been my grinding buddy since the beginning). I'm so grateful to be working alongside each one of you. There is still so much left to do. If you’re interested in joining us, I’d love to chat!

The “non-crypto” prediction market just flipped the biggest “crypto” prediction market in crypto volume. 9% market share in January → 60% now.

Kalshi is proactively implementing customer protection measures outlined in the bipartisan prediction market bill introduced by Senators Gillibrand and McCormick before it passes. Free markets and safe markets are not mutually exclusive.

@JJFromTheBronx Getting angry at people mourning someone that meant something to them is distasteful and weird.

Prediction market users are less likely to lose money than people who do day trading or trade in futures and options. Some of the most likely traders to lose? Sportsbooks users.
