Kalshi has agreed an exclusive partnership to incorporate real-time prediction data into CNBC’s editorial coverage across its TV, digital and subscription channels.
The multi-year agreement brings exclusive prediction insights to a global financial newsroom, and follows Kalshi’s deal with news network CNN earlier this week.
Beginning in 2026, CNBC will incorporate exclusive Kalshi predictions market data into its programs, including Squawk Box and Fast Money, offering viewers a unique perspective on how event forecasts and probabilities are shifting in real time.
A Kalshi ticker will run alongside segments of CNBC’s on-air programming, while Kalshi will also launch a CNBC page on its site, featuring CNBC-selected markets.
“Prediction markets are rapidly shaping how investors and business leaders think about important events,” said CNBC president KC Sullivan. “Kalshi’s data will serve as a powerful complement to CNBC’s reporting and help people stay better informed about the world around them.”
Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour added: “The world of finance depends on real-world outcomes; Kalshi predicts those outcomes. Together with CNBC, we’ll bring accurate, market-driven predictions to financial reporting. It’s the next evolution: moving from data about what’s happening now, to real-time forecasts about what’s happening next.”
Earlier this week, Kalshi announced a Series E funding round of $1 billion, led by Paradigm, with participation from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Meritech Capital, IVP, ARK Invest, Anthos Capital, CapitalG, and Y Combinator.
“Kalshi is replacing debate, subjectivity, and talk with markets, accuracy, and truth,” said Mansour. “We have created a new way of consuming and engaging with information. It’s hard to have an opinion about the future today without thinking about Kalshi.”
Kalshi’s trading volumes now surpass $1 billion every week, up over 1,000 per cent from 2024, with millions of users accessing Kalshi weekly to trade the future in over 3,500 markets.
Kalshi will use the capital to further accelerate consumer adoption to additional customers, integrate more brokerages, and broaden its product offerings.
“Kalshi’s exponential growth shows the scale of latent demand for prediction markets as a new asset class – from institutions to everyday people,” said Matt Huang, co-founder and managing partner at Paradigm. “People come for one type of market and stay for the breadth. We see this as an uncapped cultural and economic phenomenon, similar to how we felt about crypto a decade ago.”
