Donald Trump Jr. Joins Kalshi as Strategic Consultant

Donald Trump Jr. has joined prediction market startup Kalshi as a strategic consultant. This move will help the company expand its betting business.

Kalshi allows users to bet on the outcomes of future events, such as U.S. elections, news events, and economic data. The platform gained attention during the U.S. presidential election when many traders used it to bet on whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump would win.

Trump Jr. also utilized Kalshi during the election and sees the platform as a disruptor in the betting industry. His new job underscores Kalshi’s intention to broaden its reach and impact, especially as the company confronts more regulatory scrutiny in the United States.

Kalshi has been gaining traction as it competes with offshore platforms like Polymarket, which is not registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

On the other hand, Kalshi is registered with the CFTC, which gives it a legal advantage in the U.S. market. These prediction markets are becoming more popular with both everyday investors and large trading firms like Susquehanna, showcasing their growing mainstream appeal.

Kalshi offers a range of contracts, including controversial topics such as the number of deportations under a potential Trump administration, highlighting the platform’s expansion into high-risk, speculative markets.
