Kalshi Nears $40 Billion Valuation in New Funding Round, Doubling May Price
Summary
Kalshi is reportedly in talks to raise capital at a $40 billion valuation, nearly doubling its $22 billion valuation from just last month. This significant increase in investor confidence follows recent operational milestones, including surpassing $100 billion in lifetime notional volume and strong performance from its new crypto perpetual futures product. The funding discussions occur despite ongoing legal and regulatory challenges in multiple states and a lawsuit from CME Group. This rapid valuation growth, if realized, would be a strong indicator of market belief in Kalshi's business model and could materially impact any future IPO plans. The round could close as soon as Q3.
