Kalshi wants to become the go-to source for U.S. election odds ahead of this year’s midterms, even as its election contracts face new legal scrutiny. The popular prediction marketplace announced Wednesday that it is launching its first-ever Midterms Hub with election markets, aggregated polling averages, fundraising data, campaign news, and analysis. Kalshi wants the hub to serve as a one-stop shop for the public, journalists, researchers, and even political campaigns themselves as it continues to try to rebrand gambling as news. Prediction markets like Kalshi allow users to buy contracts based on whether they believe a future event will happen. The price of a contract generally reflects the market’s estimated probability of that outcome. Kalshi argues that because its markets trade 24 hours a day, their odds can respond to breaking news, debates, and other political developments faster than traditional polls. The broader argument for prediction markets as an information source is that they theoretically encourage insider trading and can potentially surface undisclosed plans for future events from people in the know. “Prediction markets don’t care about spin or partisanship. They cut through polarization and show you what the wisdom of the crowds actually believes, backed by real money, not rhetoric,” Tarek Mansour, Kalshi’s co-founder and CEO, said in a press release.
