ME News, July 21 (UTC+8). American prediction market platform Kalshi is set to see explosive growth during the 2026 World Cup. Trading volume surged from $6.67 billion on June 22 to $24.2 billion on July 14, with trading in its single prediction market “World Cup champion” exceeding $1.2 billion. Kalshi said its growth reflects a new trend in the AI era: as AI-generated content increases massively, real, immediate, and non-replicable human interaction scenarios are becoming more scarce, and prediction markets are turning into a new kind of tool for observing public sentiment and collective judgment. At the same time, Kalshi is seeking to transform from a sports prediction platform into next-generation financial trading infrastructure. The company currently holds the status of a Designated Contract Market (DCM) recognized by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and plans to expand into more prediction areas such as sports, geopolitics, culture, and the economy.
