Kalshi Unleashes Combos: Traders Can Now Bundle Multiple Event Outcomes
Prediction markets just got a major power-up. Kalshi, the regulated platform where you bet on real-world events, is rolling out 'Combos'—letting traders bundle multiple outcomes into a single, more complex wager.
Beyond Single Bets
Forget picking just one winner. This new feature lets you link predictions. Think: 'Will the Fed cut rates AND will inflation stay above 3%?' It's a direct move to capture the nuanced, interconnected way professional traders and crypto degens actually think about markets.
The Strategy Play
Combos open doors for sophisticated hedging and leveraged views. You can amplify a core thesis by tying it to a secondary condition or build a cheaper hedge by bundling correlated outcomes. It turns speculative gambling—sorry, 'event trading'—into something resembling a structured product, just without the pesky paperwork and million-dollar minimums that keep Wall Street's fees flowing.
A Nod to the Crypto Mindset
This isn't just for political junkies. Bundling outcomes mirrors the conditional logic baked into smart contracts and complex DeFi strategies. It's a feature built for a market that's comfortable with 'if-this-then-that' scenarios, making real-world events as tradable and composable as a crypto derivative.
Kalshi's combo move blurs lines. It's pushing prediction markets closer to the complexity of traditional finance while appealing directly to the modular, build-your-own-risk appetite of crypto. Whether it creates sharper forecasts or just more elaborate ways to lose money remains the eternal question for any new financial instrument.
Kalshi corners market share in prediction markets
Kalshi has experienced explosive growth over the past year, and its rival Polymarket has also seen tremendous growth, making it a good year for prediction markets. The platform recently closed a $1 billion Series E funding round at an $11 billion valuation in early December.
For some time, Kalshi had the sole claim to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-regulated status.
However, Polymarket recently secured a CFTC clearance, increasing the competition in the space.
Partnerships and expansion in the prediction markets
The platform is deploying its recent funding toward expanded brokerage integrations and news partnerships, including live integration with CNN and a planned 2026 partnership with CNBC.
In October 2025, Kalshi announced alongside its $300 million Series D funding, that it had made prediction markets accessible in over 140 countries with shared liquidity pools and launched blockchain initiatives, including the Kalshi Eco hub with partnerships across solana and Base networks.
Crypto platform Phantom announced on December 12, 2025, that it was introducing prediction markets powered by Kalshi to its users, allowing them to trade on what’s trending in sports, politics, crypto, culture, and others.
According to Cryptopolitan reports, Coinbase is also planning to launch its own in-house prediction market powered by Kalshi’s technology.
On December 11, Kalshi joined Crypto.com, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Underdog in launching the Coalition for Prediction Markets, which it called “a new national organization dedicated to preserving safe, transparent, and federally supervised access to prediction markets.”
The organization aims to advocate for consistent federal oversight and respond to fragmented state-level challenges.
With the current trajectory of the leading platforms, analysts predict that prediction markets could grow into a trillion-dollar asset class as they continue to gain mainstream acceptance.
