Kalshi Secures CNN Partnership Amid $1B Funding Round
Prediction markets platform Kalshi has landed a landmark media deal with CNN, becoming its official prediction markets partner. The agreement coincides with a $1 billion Series E funding round at an $11 billion valuation, led by Paradigm.
CNN will integrate Kalshi's real-time probability data across its broadcasts, including a live on-screen ticker during coverage segments. The network's Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten will oversee the integration, leveraging market signals for political and economic reporting.
The partnership reflects growing institutional confidence in prediction markets as a tool for gauging public sentiment on everything from elections to cultural trends. Kalshi's data will feed directly into CNN's newsroom workflows, offering producers an edge in fast-moving storylines.
