Prefer us on Google
BlockBeats News, November 21st, informed sources revealed that the prediction market platform Kalshi has raised $1 billion in its latest funding round, valuing the company at $11 billion. This is less than two months after the seven-year-old startup announced a $300 million funding round and a $5 billion valuation.
Insiders indicated that this round of funding was led by Kalshi's existing shareholders Sequoia Capital and CapitalG. Other investors also include a16z, Paradigm, Anthos Capital, and Neo.
According to Bloomberg, Kalshi's main competitor Polymarket was also in talks for a new funding round last month, with a valuation range of $12 billion to $15 billion. Just a few weeks ago, Polymarket completed a $1 billion funding round at an $8 billion pre-money valuation.
Since last year, both Kalshi and Polymarket have seen a significant increase in popularity as they both allow users to bet on the outcome of presidential elections. Earlier this month, both platforms accurately predicted the results of the New York City mayoral election, further boosting the visibility of these prediction betting websites.
Kalshi allows users from over 140 countries to bet on various future events, ranging from Time magazine's 2025 Person of the Year, the Rotten Tomatoes rating of the movie "Wicked," to longer-term events such as the ultimate winner of the next U.S. presidential election.

Expanded U.S. Treasury long-bond buybacks helped pull yields lower and supported a modest rebound in risk appetite, with the major indexes closing slightly higher. At the same time, Bitcoin briefly rose above $70,000 and lifted crypto-linked equities, while positive Phase 3 vaccine data from Merck and Moderna pushed healthcare and biotech stocks higher. SK Hynix’s large-scale buyback also kept attention on the storage cycle and AI-related demand.
