Kalshi Hitting $12B? Investors on the Frenzy Train 🚂💸

by

Kalshi is now in the race for investor bragging rights as the new king of crypto, and everyone’s pulling out their wallets like it’s Black Friday at the futures market. 🛍️😱

Kalshi, the U.S.-controlled prediction market platform, is being handed first-place trophies with bids hitting $12B. Translation: people are throwing money at it faster than I throw shade at my ex’s chicken recipe on Instagram. 🍳😤

This latest flex is all because of their $300M funding round that valued them at $5B. “Wow, investors-still here to hand over my life savings!” says no one, but here we are. 💸 Look, Bloomberg says they’re good, so who am I to question it? 🤷♀️

Whispers in the startup jungle? Kalshi is rumored to be haggling with VCs over $10-12B in funding. Negotiating like this is their main job. 🤝✨ Honestly, they should have unionized in 2020. (Priorities, people.)

The game floats on two things: genius algorithms and the thrill of betting on real-life chaos-like “Will Jeff Bezos sell Amazon next month?” or “Who dropped a corona in the pool? 🥤📲”

Oh, and They’re Adding Sports Betting. Because Why Not?

Kalshi’s just rolled out a college and pro football prediction market with Robinhood. Now we can spend our rent money on betting that the Bears will lose in style. 🏈💸 (For the love of God, let’s pick a winner.)

While their competitor, Polymarket, is getting a $2B love letter from Intercontinental Exchange, Kalshi’s flexing trade volumes reaching $50B. 🚀 “Y’all still trying to keep up?” side-eye. 😏

And oh! They plan to expand to 140+ countries-country-hopping like it’s my weekly Netflix roster. ☕️🧭 I’ll be in the back with my earbuds in, invested both literally and figuratively. 🎤
