A $20 Billion Valuation: Kalshi and Polymarket in an Arms Race?

A potential "arms race" is brewing in the prediction market sector, with industry leaders Polymarket and Kalshi each reportedly in funding talks at valuations around $20 billion. This represents a near doubling of their respective $12 billion and $11 billion valuations from late 2025. As of February 2026, the global prediction market has reached a cumulative notional trading volume of $127.5 billion. Polymarket leads with $56.07 billion, followed closely by Kalshi at $44.71 billion, together commanding 79% market share. Their growth trajectories differ: Kalshi has experienced explosive user growth, with monthly active users surging from 600,000 to over 5.1 million in 2025, while Polymarket's user growth has been steadier, peaking around 700,000 monthly active users. Kalshi's trading volume skyrocketed over 1100% in 2025, largely driven by sports contracts which account for 81% of its volume. It has secured key partnerships with platforms like Robinhood, which contributed over 50% of its volume in late 2025, and media outlets like CNBC and CNN. Polymarket maintains a stronghold in political and crypto event markets. It has formed significant partnerships with X (formerly Twitter), ICE (for a strategic investment up to $2 billion), and the UFC for exclusive prediction market data. Both platforms are also official partners of the NHL, and their data is integrated into Google's search and finance products. Their divergent strategies—Kalshi's focus on USD-compliant trading and Polymarket's crypto-native, global event coverage—are collectively pushing prediction markets into the mainstream as vital information and risk-management platforms. With potential new funding and major upcoming events like the World Cup and the US elections, both platforms are poised for a record-breaking year in 2026.

"Threat" Harvests Before "Action": How Geopolitical Risk Prices the Crypto Market—Transmission Mechanisms and Outlook

Abstract: Geopolitical risk (GPR), particularly the "threat" phase, acts as a key driver of risk premium repricing in financial markets, with significant implications for crypto assets, which now behave as high-beta risk assets deeply embedded within the global macro cycle. The GPR index, which quantifies risk through media analysis, shows that negative effects are primarily driven by threats rather than actual acts of conflict. GPR impacts crypto through several transmission channels: risk aversion (rising VIX), inflation and rate cut fears (via oil price shocks), and market structure amplifiers (24/7 trading, high leverage, and endogenous liquidity loops). These mechanisms explain crypto’s high-beta nature—often correlating positively with Nasdaq—and its tendency toward violent deleveraging and liquidity contraction during stress. Three scenarios are outlined: base case (震荡修复) – slow recovery if risks stabilize; pessimistic (二次探底) – renewed selloff if conflict escalates and inflation spikes; optimistic (高波动超额反弹) – sharp rebound if risks fade and macro conditions improve. Key insights: 1) Markets price GPR threats early via risk-off shifts; 2) Crypto’s high volatility is structurally inherent; 3) Bitcoin behaves more like a high-beta tech asset than digital gold under most macro conditions, with its safe-haven narrative only materializing during severe sovereign or cross-border stress. Investors must integrate GPR into macro frameworks to dynamically assess risk premiums and liquidity conditions.
