Google Finance Integrates Prediction Markets: Kalshi & Polymarket Data Coming Soon
Google Finance is shaking up its platform by incorporating prediction market data from Kalshi and Polymarket—because apparently traditional finance indicators weren't confusing enough.
The move signals a growing acceptance of alternative data sources, though skeptics might call it 'giving gamblers a seat at the analysts' table.'
Active traders now get direct access to crowd-sourced probability metrics—just in time for the next market frenzy.
Growth of both platforms
Both platforms have seen growing activity this year as more people use prediction markets to gauge future events rather than rely solely on polls or expert opinions. Their valuation now stands at billions, as they continue to expand globally and announce new partnerships and products.
Last month, Kalshi raised $300 million in a fundraising round led by Sequoia, which values the company at $5 billion. The company plans to go global and will now allow users in more than 140 countries to trade on real-world outcomes. The platform handles over 60% of global prediction market trading, surpassing Polymarket. Kalshi has also launched KalshiEco, a new hub built with solana and Coinbase’s Base.
In addition, Polymarket is in talks with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, for a $2 billion investment. If finalized, this could value Polymarket between $8 billion and $10 billion. It has also partnered with chainlink to enable faster, 15-minute settlements on Polygon, using decentralized oracle data.
New entrants join the race
The competition is heating up. Gemini is also stepping into the prediction market. It is launching a federally regulated platform called “Gemini Titan,” approved by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The platform will allow users to trade contracts based on the outcomes of future events.
Moreover, in October, TRUMP Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, entered the prediction markets sector. It partnered with Crypto.com to run these markets directly on the platform.
