Kalshi Trading Volume Continues to Break Records, What Is the Reasonable Pre-Market Stock Price?

Amidst a recent market downturn, the prediction market sector has shown remarkable resilience. Kalshi, the largest regulated prediction market platform in the US, reached a record single-month trading volume exceeding $9.5 billion in January, making it the sector leader. This surge has sparked renewed interest in pricing its pre-IPO shares. Significant price discrepancies exist across different pre-IPO trading platforms. On PreStocks, Kalshi shares are priced between $364 and $369. On Jarsy, the price is notably higher at around $504. In contrast, traditional private markets like Nasdaq Private Market and Hiive list shares at approximately $320 and $358, respectively. The analysis suggests a reasonable pre-IPO share price range for Kalshi is between $320 and $423. This is based on its last private funding round valuation of $11 billion and an estimated implied valuation of at least $15 billion, supported by its surging trading volume which now nearly equals the entire prediction market's size from October of the previous year. The article concludes that Jarsy's current price appears high, while PreStocks may present a potential arbitrage opportunity. Furthermore, with 2026 being a major year for global sporting events, Kalshi's annual revenue potential is seen as substantial, potentially exceeding estimates for competitor Polymarket, which could lead to further increases in its pre-IPO valuation.

Dialogue with Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: Multiple Factors Overlap Leading to Market Plunge, Optimistic About Future Institutional Buying

In a recent podcast, crypto analyst Miles Deutscher interviewed Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, discussing the recent market crash, Bitcoin's role as digital gold, institutional adoption, and key trends like RWA and privacy. Hougan attributed the sharp market decline to multiple factors, including early investor profit-taking, fallout from the October 10 liquidation event, concerns over a potentially hawkish new Fed chair, and broader macro pressures. He noted the Fear and Greed Index hit a record low of 5, suggesting a potential asymmetric upside. On Bitcoin's underperformance vs. gold, Hougan explained that central banks' increased gold purchases since 2022 (due to geopolitical concerns) created a supply squeeze that took years to impact prices. He believes Bitcoin ETFs will similarly absorb supply over time, driving long-term value. The next major buyers are expected to be financial advisors, large brokerages like Morgan Stanley, family offices, insurers, and sovereign nations. However, institutional adoption is slow, often requiring multiple meetings over years before allocation. Hougan expressed strong optimism for privacy coins due to growing demand amid Bitcoin's regulatory integration. He also views RWA (real-world assets) as highly undervalued, with potential for 100x growth in well-structured DeFi projects as tokenization expands. Regarding talent outflow to AI, he acknowledged the trend but argued that AI agents will become major users of crypto infrastructure like wallets, stablecoins, and DeFi due to their efficiency and automation capabilities.
