Expansion of Sports Prediction Markets and Regulatory Backdrop
Polymarket and Kalshi have expanded sports event contracts as trading volumes increase. The expansion has drawn scrutiny from certain gaming authorities and state regulators. At the same time, DraftKings has launched DraftKings Predictions in 38 states. These states include California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, where traditional sports betting remains restricted.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Kalshi last month. The agency asserted “exclusive jurisdiction” over futures markets, including gaming contracts. Kalshi faces a lawsuit alleging violations of Nevada gaming laws. CEO Tarek Mansour said Kalshi recorded over $1 billion in trading volume on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Polymarket and Kalshi have discussed funding rounds with potential investors. The report said both companies seek valuations near $20 billion. Polymarket has also acquired a CFTC-regulated platform to facilitate its return to the United States. The company has opened a waitlist for users ahead of the relaunch.
Palantir Technologies, co-founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, develops data analytics software. The company provides tools to U.S. government agencies and enterprise clients. Through the Vergence AI engine, Palantir and TWG AI will power the new monitoring platform for Polymarket’s sports markets.
