CNBC Partners with Kalshi for Real-Time Prediction Data
BREAKING: CNBC has just announced a groundbreaking partnership with Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction market, set to launch in 2026. This multi-year collaboration aims to deliver real-time prediction-market data directly to CNBC’s TV shows, digital platforms, and subscription services, revolutionizing how viewers engage with news.
This innovative move is the first of its kind for a major financial newsroom, providing audiences with a fresh perspective on critical economic, political, and financial events. Kalshi offers accurate, real-time insights into the probability of various outcomes, ranging from elections and economic indicators to significant cultural events.
Under this partnership, popular programs like “Squawk Box” and “Fast Money” will integrate Kalshi’s data, allowing viewers to see live shifts in event probabilities as they unfold. A dedicated ticker featuring Kalshi’s predictions will run alongside segments, and a special page on CNBC’s website will showcase selected markets, complete with in-depth context and analysis for those wanting to dive deeper.
KC Sullivan, president of CNBC, emphasized the transformative power of this data, stating, “Prediction markets are rapidly shaping how investors and business leaders think about important events.” He added that Kalshi’s insights will enhance CNBC’s reporting, enabling audiences to stay informed about current and future developments.
Kalshi’s CEO, Tarek Mansour, highlighted the synergy between traditional journalism and forward-looking insights. “The world of finance depends on real-world outcomes; Kalshi predicts those outcomes,” he noted. “Together with CNBC, we’ll bring accurate, market-driven predictions to financial reporting. It’s the next evolution.”
As this partnership takes shape, CNBC aims to provide its audience with a new lens on unfolding events, showcasing not only past occurrences but also market expectations for the future. Kalshi, in turn, will enhance its mission to mainstream prediction-market insights, reaching global audiences and offering practical comparisons of forecasts against CNBC’s extensive financial coverage.
This collaboration signals a significant shift in how financial news is consumed, making it more interactive and insightful. Audiences can expect to gain a deeper understanding of how the markets are reacting in real time, rather than merely reflecting on what has already happened.
Stay tuned for updates as CNBC and Kalshi prepare for this exciting new chapter in financial journalism.
