CNBC Integrates Prediction Market Data from Kalshi into Financial Coverage

U.S. business network CNBC has concluded a multi-year exclusive partnership with prediction market platform Kalshi. Beginning in 2026, event probabilities from Kalshi are to be integrated across all CNBC channels – on television, on its website, and in subscription offerings^[1].

Specifically, CNBC plans to integrate Kalshi data into well-known programs such as "Squawk Box" and "Fast Money," including a dedicated ticker with continuously updated probabilities for events such as interest rate decisions, election results, or economic data^[1]. Additionally, a CNBC-curated market page is planned directly on Kalshi.

Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour describes this as the "next evolution" of financial reporting – moving away from presenting only current events toward market-based future expectations^[1]. The partnership follows just days after a similar agreement with CNN.

Founded in 2018, the platform recently raised approximately one billion U.S. dollars, achieving a valuation of roughly 11 billion U.S. dollars^[1]. By comparison, competitor Polymarket is valued at 15 billion U.S. dollars. For German users, however, activities on such platforms could be associated with legal risks^[1].
