Love this

Kalshi just nuked an entire category overnight. At least 5 startups were building "Bloomberg Terminals for prediction markets." Then Kalshi shipped Kalshi Pro. 🧵

@CAgovernor Wow 3500 off but let’s increase regulation so that it costs 35000 more to make it 🤡

California is filling the void left by Trump and the GOP repealing the federal electric vehicle tax credit. I've signed legislation creating an instant rebate for Californians going electric — $3,500 off new EVs and $1,750 off used models. We won't forfeit the future to China.

.@POTUS is exactly right: America MUST lead in the race for AI, crypto, and financial innovation. We CANNOT let outdated laws allow us to fall behind China and other countries. It's time for CLARITY.

@Alfred_Lin @mansourtarek_ @Kalshi It's true, and that last sentence applies to everything in life.

.@mansourtarek_ on @Kalshi: “The thing that was unique about us is we never pivoted. It was always Kalshi. We were dragged by the idea. I wasn't the type that wanted to be an entrepreneur. I think if you re-roll the dice multiple times, I'd probably just be a trader or risk manager. I would not be an entrepreneur. But the idea was so glaring in front of us that we just had to do it.” Successful founders will often tell you that the idea pulled them, not the other way around. Kalshi walked through the desert for six years. Most teams reset the idea once the desert gets long enough. They never did, because they were dragged by the idea, not short-term outcomes. When they persevered and became the first regulated prediction market, they compounded to ~95% US market share. The patience to do things right became an advantage, not a constraint. Keep the long game in mind when you feel like you're in the desert.

Couldn’t agree more with @POTUS. Senator Graham was a good friend of mine and was passionate about ensuring that American leadership stayed at the forefront of everything - including digital assets. Let’s get Clarity passed and to President Trump’s desk.

@Kalshi cOmInG sOoN pOlYmArKeT pRo!!

Now introducing Kalshi Pro Trade multiple markets with maximum speed, efficiency, and customizability.

E*TRADE PRO vibes, finally

@kalshidata @Kalshi Oh yeah. 300B this year is happening.

JUST IN: @Kalshi has already crossed $140B in All-Time Notional Volume

Guess how Chris Christie is being paid to shill for casinos 😭

@icobeast @BrianQuintenz Hating on Kalshi, then catching up to Kalshi, as usual

Kalshi’s crypto markets were designed using a 60 second TWAP of a regulated price feed (CFBenchmarks) specifically to harden the resolutions against any sort of last second price pushing manipulation attempts on CEXs. That design decision is now seen as the gold standard in the industry and users trust our markets more than ever. Even our competitors are adopting the exact design specs. Just one of many reasons why Kalshi owns >80% of the global crypto predictions market share.

@Nostroah @luanalopeslara no BS only work

Can confirm this is absolutely true and one of the reasons why Kalshi had so much success. @luanalopeslara is the most organized person in the world.

@MickBransfield i can agree with this point, but so far, the company has done very well with minimal hierarchy. it's no longer a startup though, and its inevitable that there will be adjustments after the round.

Micromanagement doesn't scale.

Opinion on him has just gone down a bit sadly

@edoweb3 @OBAxbt 25 billion in valuation ahead of you? lmao

@OBAxbt where is kalshi? lmao polymarket at first as always

Top 10 earning crypto platforms in the past 30 days Any surprise?

If I have to hear "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc" one more time. I am going to blow my brains out. The cringiest idiom I have ever heard. And literally no logic behind it.

@wogaam @kalshidata @Kalshi @Polymarket @artemis Always behind Kalshi, as usual

quick comparison: @Kalshi has recorded $12.4B in Trading Volume this month, with roughly $5B coming from non-sports markets, that means sports account for nearly 60% of its total volume. meanwhile, @Polymarket has recorded $4.8B in Trading Volume, but only around $690M comes from non-sports markets, meaning sports make up nearly 86% of its total volume while @Kalshi continues to reduce the importance of sports month after month by growing other categories (such as crypto), @Polymarket remains heavily dependent on sports-driven volume

@Payne_1337 @Polymarket but.. but this is all kalshis fault how are we gonna blame kalshi now

Polymarket just increased the sports fee coefficient from 0.03 -> 0.05 If you buy 1,000 shares at $0.50: Before: 7.5 shares in fees Now: 12.5 shares in fees That's a 66.7% increase in trading fees

"There is so much misinformation out there," says Fmr. Nevada Senator & Kalshi Advisor Dean Heller of prediction markets. "It's a platform that's transparent, consumer friendly and it is regulated." cnb.cx/4f49PbM

Lots of people claiming that there's no usecase for sports on prediction markets. Usually true. But if you're French, tonight you can hedge against your country burning down by buying Morocco to advance.
