Kalshi и CNN запускают предсказательные рынки, усиливая интерес к новым торговым форматам Translation: Kalshi and CNN Launch Prediction Markets, Boosting Interest in New Trading Formats

Kalshi has partnered with CNN and confirmed raising $1 billion.

Trust Wallet, owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, has introduced a section for trading on prediction markets in its interface.

«Eligible users can view events, take positions on their outcomes (such as ‘yes’ or ‘no’), and monitor developments—all within their existing Trust Wallet,» the project’s blog states.

The first integration came from the Web3 protocol Myriad, launched in March. Soon, the supported services list will include Kalshi and Polymarket platforms.

Interest in prediction markets continues to rise. In October, MetaMask announced its native integration with the Polymarket platform.

«Wallets are becoming central for all forms of trading—not just tokens, but also information, opinions, and expectations. Users shouldn’t need five applications to express a market position. This should happen where they already store assets and trade,» noted Trust Wallet CEO Eowyn Chen in a comment to Cointelegraph.

On December 3, Kalshi announced its partnership with CNN. Journalists and analysts from the media holding will gain access to the service’s data to assess the likelihood of political and cultural events.

CNN will integrate Kalshi’s metrics into its broadcasts and launch a real-time news feed based on them.

In early November, Google announced the integration of Kalshi and Polymarket. Data from these platforms will be included in search results as part of an update to Google Finance.

Earlier, independent researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered a hidden interface within the Coinbase app for trading stocks and prediction markets, indicating a potential integration with Kalshi.

The platform has also partnered with the Solana ecosystem. It is expected to tokenize «thousands of its prediction markets.»

Kalshi collaborates with DFlow and Jupiter protocols and is developing new «Kalshi Builder Codes.» These will enable «seamless monetization of applications on top of the platform’s global liquidity pool.»

«Trading terminals, weather websites, AI agents… anything you wish to create can now generate commissions and rewards proportional to volume,» the team stated.

Kalshi’s CEO Tarek Mansour confirmed the information regarding raising $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation.

The Series E funding round was led by venture firm Paradigm, with participation from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, and ARK Invest of Cathie Wood.

«Kalshi replaces disputes, subjectivity, and conversations—with markets, precision, and truth. We have created a new way of perceiving information and engaging with it,» Mansour commented.

The team will use the raised funds for integration with new brokers, partnerships with news agencies, and expanding the product line.

Additionally, Kalshi co-founder Luana Lopes Lara has been recognized as the youngest self-made female billionaire. In a ranking by Forbes, she surpassed singer Taylor Swift.

In November, the combined turnover of Kalshi and Polymarket approached $10 billion—the highest in the history of these platforms.

Monthly volume on the former increased by 32%—from $4.4 billion to $5.8 billion, marking the largest absolute increase. The latter jumped by 23.8%—from $3.02 billion to over $3.7 billion.

Recall that Polymarket resumed operations in the US after resolving conflicts with regulators.
