What to know:
- Kalshi raised $1 billion in a new funding round at an $11 billion valuation, according to TechCrunch.
- The regulated platform is closing in on rival Polymarket’s reported $12 billion to $15 billion valuation target, highlighting growing investor interest in prediction markets.
- Kalshi and Polymarket compete with opposing models — Kalshi as a CFTC-regulated exchange, Polymarket as a decentralized, crypto-native alternative.
Kalshi, a regulated prediction market platform, has closed a $1 billion funding round that values the company at $11 billion, according to TechCrunch. The round was led by returning investors Sequoia Capital and CapitalG, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Paradigm, Anthos Capital, and Neo.
The new valuation brings Kalshi closer to the $12 billion to $15 billion valuation target reportedly sought by its crypto-native rival Polymarket. The milestone also comes just a month after Kalshi announced a $300 million round at a $5 billion valuation, underscoring investor appetite for the growing prediction market space.

Kalshi operates as a regulated exchange under the oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), offering event contracts on topics ranging from inflation rates to political outcomes. It has positioned itself as a U.S.-compliant alternative to offshore or decentralized platforms, focusing on institutional and retail traders who want legal certainty and fiat onramps.
Polymarket, by contrast, is built on blockchain rails and operates as a decentralized information market. Users wager crypto on yes-or-no outcomes, often tied to political elections, market data or pop culture events.
The two firms have emerged as frontrunners in a sector that blends financial speculation with news-driven engagement. While Kalshi touts regulatory compliance and a path toward mainstream adoption, Polymarket’s decentralized design appeals to crypto-native users seeking transparency and censorship resistance.
