[Crypto World] Prediction markets are really about to go mainstream this time.

Kalshi has landed an official partnership with CNN, so from now on, all those “probability of XX event happening” real-time data in CNN reports will come from their platform. It’s not just a nominal partnership—it’s deeply integrated. The data will be used directly in CNN programs, and they’ve even set up a specially designed tech-driven news ticker.

How hot is this sector right now? The total industry trading volume has already surpassed $45 billion. Over at Polymarket, the CEO recently claimed that prediction markets are “the most accurate forecasting tool available right now,” and even Google Finance has started integrating this kind of data. Web3 applications are truly making their way into the traditional finance spotlight.

Of course, the controversy hasn’t stopped. Kalshi is currently embroiled in a class action lawsuit, with opponents accusing them of essentially running unlicensed sports betting. Mainstream adoption and regulatory pressure—this contradiction probably won’t be resolved anytime soon.
