Prediction market operator Kalshi is negotiating a $1 billion funding round that would value the company at $40 billion, according to a report from Reuters. This represents an eightfold increase from Kalshi’s $5 billion valuation in October 2025.
Sequoia Capital and Wellington Management are reportedly discussing leading the investment. Tiger Global and Dragoneer Investment Group are also participating in discussions, signaling strong investor interest in the growing prediction market sector.
Kalshi allows users to trade on the outcomes of future events, ranging from political elections to economic indicators. The company has navigated a complex regulatory environment in the United States. Details of the funding’s intended use were not disclosed in the report.
The potential valuation places Kalshi among the more highly valued private companies in the crypto and fintech space, reflecting the perceived potential of decentralized prediction markets.
