Kalshi, the U.S.-regulated prediction market platform, is on the brink of securing investments that could push its valuation to as high as $12 billion. This comes just weeks after the company raised over $300 million at a $5 billion valuation, signaling strong investor confidence in its rapid growth. 
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-22/prediction-market-kalshi-fields-investor-offers-at-over-10-billion-valuation?srnd=phx-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According to sources</a>, investors are eager to get in on the action, with funding talks ranging from $10 billion to $12 billion.

Meanwhile, Kalshi’s competition is heating up. Polymarket, another key player in the prediction market space, has secured an impressive deal with Intercontinental Exchange to invest up to $2 billion, raising its own valuation to $9 billion.

This follows Polymarket’s <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/polymarket-receives-green-signal-cftc-us-return-2025-09-03/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a> that it has received approval to resume operations in the U.S., a market it had previously halted in 2022. 
The rising interest in prediction markets comes as sports betting continues its explosive growth. Kalshi is capitalizing on this trend, recently teaming up with Robinhood to launch a new football prediction market. 
This partnership allows users to wager on game outcomes, expanding Kalshi’s reach to Robinhood’s vast user base. On the other hand, Polymarket is <a href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/9113-25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">positioning</a> itself as the designated clearinghouse for DraftKings should it choose to enter the prediction market space following its acquisition of Railbird.

Both platforms have also secured multi-year licensing agreements with the National Hockey League, a deal that further boosts their credibility in the sports prediction and betting markets.
