Kalshi is now valued at $22 billion after a $1 billion funding round
The event prediction exchange #Kalshi has just wrapped up a Series F round worth $1 billion, doubling its valuation to $22 billion in just five months.
The investment round saw participation from Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley, and Ark Invest. Kalshi's annual revenue has surpassed $1.5 billion, while the entire prediction market industry recorded over $25 billion in trading volume last month. However, Kalshi is still facing at least 19 federal lawsuits and pressure from several U.S. states regarding whether the company's event contracts violate gambling laws.

#Kalshi attracted $1 billion with a valuation of $22 billion
The prediction market platform officially announced the closure of its Series F funding round amounting to $1 billion (May 7, 2026). The round was led by Coatue with participation from giants like Sequoia Capital, a16z, IVP, Paradigm, Morgan Stanley, and ARK Invest. This marks the third round in the last seven months, during which the company's valuation skyrocketed from $2 billion to $22 billion.
Such rapid growth has been driven by explosive interest from institutional investors: over the last six months, trading volume in this segment has surged by 800%. Annual trading volume on the platform increased from $52 billion to $178 billion. According to CEO Tarek Mansour, event markets are emerging as a new asset class that scales faster than any category except for AI.
The funds raised will be used to scale among hedge funds and insurance companies, as well as to launch block trading and new risk management tools. For major players, Kalshi has ceased to be just a place for 'bets' on politics, transforming into a crucial hedging tool for macroeconomic and regulatory risks using real-time data.

Prediction market ban just hit the Senate. Senators plus staff can't tarde on polymarket/Kalshi anymore. But the house, Fed, and White House? Still allowed.
Is this real reform or just optics? If someone's getting war briefings, should anyone in government be allowed to bet on the outcomes?
Good first step, but meaningless if it's only the Senate. S. Res. 708 passed afer that soldier made $400k betting on the Maduro raid with classified intel. Whole government needs the same rule.

The New World - BTC:
Kalshi's surge shows the growing appetite for regulated prediction markets; game changer ahead.
⚖️ A16Z VS STATES: THE BATTLE FOR PREDICTION MARKETS ⚖️
A16Z is going all-in, backing the CFTC against state-level bans on prediction markets.
The Breakdown:
🔹Federal Power: A16Z argues state bans violate the CFTC’s exclusive federal oversight.
🔹Liquidity Crisis: Fragmented rules create serious barriers for platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket.
🔹Volume Surge: Weekly volumes spiked from $300M to $3B, demanding clear federal rules.
🔹Blockchain Wins: On-chain transparency offers better oversight than old-school traditional systems.
Market efficiency requires impartial access, not state-by-state roadblocks. Prediction markets are the ultimate information machines for our industry.
Are state bans protecting users or just stifling innovation and market liquidity? 👇

#U.S.SenatorsBarredfromTradingonPredictionMarkets
Big move from Washington 🇺🇸 — and it’s sending ripples across the prediction market and crypto space.
The U.S. Senate has unanimously banned senators and their staff from trading on prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. �
Wall Street Journal +1
📊 Why this matters:
Prediction markets allow users to bet on real-world events — elections, wars, policy decisions — turning information into financial opportunity.
But here’s the issue 👇
Lawmakers often have access to non-public or sensitive information, creating a serious risk of insider trading. �
Reuters
⚖️ What triggered this move?
Rising concerns about ethical conflicts
Cases of individuals profiting using classified information
Growing popularity of event-based trading platforms �
Business Insider
🚫 What the ban includes:
Senators
Congressional staff
Senate officers
All are now prohibited from placing bets on future events through these platforms. �
AP News
🔥 Why crypto users should care:
Prediction markets are closely tied to blockchain ecosystems
Increased regulation could impact platforms like Polymarket
Signals a broader push toward transparency + anti-insider trading rules
📉📈 This could mean:
More compliance pressure on decentralized platforms
Potential limitations — or legitimacy — for prediction markets
A step toward mainstream adoption with stricter rules
Governments are starting to take prediction markets seriously — and regulation is catching up fast.
What do you think — is this a step toward fairness or overregulation? 🤔

U.S. Senate Decision: Prediction Markets Banned! 🚫
Now, betting on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket is a thing of the past for Senators! 📉
Today, April 30, 2026, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a new law that prohibits Senate members from participating in prediction markets.
Why was this decision taken? 🤔
According to the NS3.AI report, the reasons for this strict policy are:
Insider Trading: There was a risk that members could use their confidential legislative information (non-public information) to make money.
Ethics & Integrity: This was considered necessary to maintain the integrity of the legislative process.
Sensitive Events: Trading on "event contracts" related to death and violence on platforms like Polymarket.
Impact on the Market? 📊
Prediction: Markets have seen tremendous growth recently, but this tightening of regulators suggests that these platforms will now face stricter regulations. Trading enthusiasts need to be cautious.
