Now legal in all 50 states, Kalshi just raised $185M and is valued at $2 billion. Internationally-focused Polymarket announced a raise the same week to hit unicorn status of $1 billion. Meanwhile, prediction markets stand to benefit the most from the continued legislation which impacts professional bettors, as well as continued bans from operators who don’t want their business. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
