What We're Up To

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events & turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years & legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history. Kalshi is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, & has over 1,900 markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture & more.

We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position. 

• Our vision: well build the largest financial market on the planet. 
• Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets. 

Building a new category is hard like, really hard. But its beautiful & deeply fulfilling. Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, & enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious & exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

What Is Kalshi

Kalshi is the first & only federally regulated exchange where people can trade on any event. Think like the NYSE, but instead of trading stocks, you trade on the events you know & care about. After three years of regulatory struggle, Kalshi's historic regulatory approval from the CFTC has allowed it to launch a new asset class: event contracts. Event contracts, the fastest-growing asset class today, are elegant financial instruments structured as simple yes/no questions about the future. 

In 2024, Kalshi Klear was approved as a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) & now manages all clearing activity for its exchange members.

We are looking for passionate & outlier members excited to embark on this voyage toward building the financial system's next inflection point.
