According to Crowdfund Insider, the prediction market platform Kalshi has initiated preliminary discussions with investment banks regarding a potential IPO. Its annual revenue is reportedly over 2 billion USD, doubling from 1 billion USD earlier this year. Kalshi completed a 1 billion USD Series F funding round in May, with a valuation of 22 billion USD. Investors include Coatue, Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm, Morgan Stanley, and ARK Invest. In May, Kalshi's monthly trading volume reached 16.81 billion USD, up from 14.81 billion USD in April, continuing to lead its competitor Polymarket.
わずか数ヶ月で10億から20億の年率収益に到達し、Fラウンドの評価額は220億に達し、a16zとParadigmを引きつけた。このIPOのストーリーは、プラットフォーム上の契約よりも安定している。
