Kalshi’s Crystal Ball: CNBC Joins the Prediction Party 🎉📈

by

Well, slap my wallet and call me impressed! The folks at CNBC have decided to jump on the Kalshi bandwagon, signing a multi-year exclusive partnership that’ll have them slinging event-based probabilities like they’re going out of style. Starting in 2026, your favorite business news network will be serving up Kalshi’s real-time predictions across their TV, digital, and subscription products. Because who needs just the news when you can have the future, too? 🌟

This deal comes hot on the heels of Kalshi’s cozy little tie-up with CNN, announced on Dec. 3. Looks like Kalshi’s on a mission to conquer the mainstream US media, one network at a time. Next stop, probably your local weather channel. “Will it rain? Kalshi says 78% chance. Better grab your umbrella, Karen!” ☔️

CNBC Gets a Kalshi Makeover: Tickers, Tickers Everywhere!

Under this shiny new agreement, CNBC will be plastering Kalshi’s real-time prediction data all over their business news programming and digital properties. Expect a dedicated Kalshi-branded ticker during selected shows, because nothing says “future” like a scrolling bar of probabilities. Kalshi, in return, will host a CNBC-branded page on its platform, highlighting markets handpicked by CNBC editors. It’s like a matchmaking service for macroeconomic, political, and financial events. Swipe right for inflation, swipe left for recessions. 💸

“The new era of media has begun.” 🌍✨

CNBC is the world’s leading destination for financial news, and the world of finance depends on real-world events. Kalshi accurately predicts these events. It’s like having a magic 8-ball, but with charts and graphs. 🔮

The news is evolving: from covering the present to forecasting the future. Spoiler alert: the future is probably going to involve more partnerships and tickers. – Tarek Mansour (@mansourtarek_) December 4, 2025

“Prediction markets are rapidly shaping how investors and business leaders think about important events,” said KC Sullivan, President of CNBC. “Kalshi’s data will serve as a powerful complement to CNBC’s reporting and help people stay better informed about the world around them.” Or, you know, just give them something to argue about at the water cooler. 🗣️

CNBC: Big Dog in the Business News Yard

Let’s not forget, CNBC isn’t just any old news network. It’s one of the top 20 most visited business news websites globally, raking in over 117 million monthly visits. That’s a lot of eyeballs on those Kalshi tickers. They’re rubbing shoulders with the likes of the BBC, CNN, The New York Times, and Yahoo Finance. Talk about good company! 🌐

This CNBC announcement dropped just a day after Kalshi became CNN’s official prediction market partner. CNN’s newsroom now has access to Kalshi’s event probabilities, and they’re rolling out Kalshi-powered tickers faster than you can say “market volatility.” It’s like a ticker tape parade, but with more data. 🎊

Kalshi’s been on a tear lately, reporting weekly trading volumes above $1 billion and raising a cool $1 billion in funding in November at an $11 billion valuation. That’s a lot of zeros, folks. And they’re not alone in this prediction market frenzy. Their rival, Polymarket, has partnerships with Google Finance and Yahoo! Finance. It’s like the Wild West of data, with everyone scrambling to stake their claim. 🤠

So, what’s next? Kalshi partnering with your local fortune teller? CNBC launching a show called “The Future is Now”? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the future of media just got a whole lot more interesting. And probably a lot more tickers. 📊
