Kalshi Crypto cleared $4B in notional volume in June. Another month another massive growth story. Up a whopping $2bn from the prior ATH ($2.02bn) in May, and up ~35x since I took over this role in November 2025. Kalshi now captures 80% of global crypto predictions market share as well, up from 7% in November 2025. All gas. No brakes. $10bn/month coming soon

My job for the last 6 months was to make Kalshi's crypto prediction markets the largest in the world. We smashed that goal, and are black-holing the entire global market share for crypto predictions at a rapidly accelerating pace. We're now 2x larger than the closest competitor. $120m/month in November -> $2bn cleared in May. And now I turn my attention to Kalshi Perps. People deserve regulated access to perps - it's the fastest growing new financial tool in the world. I'm going to run back the same playbook...hope you enjoy it.

ngl we were all extremely right about CT being broken and they gaslit us for 9 months saying it wasn't broken. Who could have guessed that most neurotic, terminally online power users of a product would be correct about the product being broken

@icobeast I love to hear that. I feel that prediction markets have the capability of being a large onboarding event, I just didn't know if it was actually happening 💪

I think what you'll notice over the next weeks and months is that Kalshi user count growth will be 1) explosive and 2) uncorrelated with the user counts of all of the offshore perp DEX platforms and frontends. The thesis has always been that we're creating a net-new TAM, not that we're trying to capture existing users of a completely different product. Much work to be done, but I'm game for a challenge

Within < 1 month of public launch, Kalshi Perpetuals is already at ~60% of Hyperliquid's daily active traders. Kalshi perps is still early, but good sign of regulated US perps adoption. Daily Active Traders 🏅Hyperliquid: 40,469 🥈Kalshi: 24,120 🥉Lighter: 9,097 🏅Phantom: 2,177

@bernie_rab Try re-reading the tweet. My belief is we are making the pie bigger, not stealing a part of the pie

@icobeast What percentage of the kalshi users use crypto? Are you seeing any growth/adoption in that area, or do normies just prefer gambling in USD? I think I know the answer, but it'd be nice to be proven wrong

Polymarket's crypto up-down markets are one example of how a poorly designed market can create adverse externalities by incentivizing zero-sum and negative-sum behavior. When up-down markets first started, they had much longer durations. Traders treated the underlying asset price as an exogenous oracle. Many early traders ran geometric Brownian motion models on the underlying assets. As Polymarket created shorter-duration markets and increased liquidity incentives, there was more incentive to manipulate the underlying and capture the profits from the derivative up-down market. Total Polymarket crypto volume isn't growing and is the same absolute value as it was more than six months ago. Based on on-chain address analysis, there's sufficient evidence to suggest that these markets are removing liquidity and users from the system.

We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back). We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize. This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

My dad's friend (62 years old) came over for lunch yesterday They were talking about whether or not something was going to happen in the future And he goes "let's put a Kalshi on it" 1. I've never heard someone use Kalshi as a verb 2. We talk about Gen Z getting prediction market pilled but it has reached the boomers too 3. Insane how much Prediction Markets have bled into society in the last 18 months

@icobeast Why are there only 15 minute markets live right now? Just regulatory reasons? If so, does Kalshi want to compete with the Hyperliquids of the world or just offer a more retail-friendly product Also how did Kalshi get perps approval before crypto-native companies like Lighter?
