Prediction market platform Kalshi has partnered with blockchain oracle service Stork to provide price feeds that will initially inform perpetual futures contracts linked to prediction markets. Kalshi aims to enhance ties with the crypto industry and eventually serve as a referee for decentralized prediction markets, settling predictions' outcomes. This collaboration reflects growing interest in prediction markets, particularly following Polymarket's success around election-related betting. Kalshi is providing data for free initially, with hopes that decentralized exchanges using this data may also lead traders back to its own platform. The company believes that its regulation by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission gives it a unique advantage as a resolution provider. Discussion of potential prediction markets focused on sports and social interactions has also emerged, highlighting evolving user engagement beyond political betting. Kalshi's recent legal victories allow it to list political contracts, and the platform is optimistic about sustaining interest in prediction markets post-election.
