Company details

Kalshi, founded in 2018, is a New York, NY-based exchange dedicated to trading event contracts. It operates as a designated contract market overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Its contracts cover weather, international affairs, politics and entertainment awards. According to Bloomberg, sports-related contracts have been the exchange's primary driver of activity. Kalshi charges a transaction fee on contracts and aims to let people capitalize on their opinions and hedge everyday risks.

The company has raised capital from prominent investors including Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Paradigm, Wellington Management and Coatue Management. In September 2026, Bloomberg reported that Kalshi was in final negotiations on a financing round intended to position it for an initial public offering (IPO) as early as 2027. However, despite these reports, the company has not publicly endorsed a plan to participate in an IPO. Publicly traded competitors include CME Group (CME), Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and DraftKings (DKNG).

These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.
