CNBC Strikes Multi-Year Deal to Bring Kalshi Prediction Data to TV and Digital in 2026

The agreement signals prediction markets entering mainstream news despite active state challenges to Kalshi’s legal status.

Overview

  • Starting in 2026, CNBC will display Kalshi’s real-time probabilities across TV, digital and subscription products, including a dedicated ticker on shows such as Squawk Box and Fast Money.
  • Kalshi will host a CNBC-branded page highlighting markets selected by the network, adding a curated hub to the platform’s site.
  • The CNBC tie-up follows a similar integration announced days earlier with CNN, which plans to incorporate Kalshi’s event data into its coverage via newsroom access and on-air use.
  • Kalshi said it raised $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation and reported rapid growth, including more than $1 billion in weekly trading and $4.54 billion in November volume.
  • Legal pressure is intensifying, with a Nevada federal ruling finding Kalshi unlicensed for gaming and Connecticut issuing a cease-and-desist, while Kalshi appeals and argues it operates under exclusive federal exchange jurisdiction.
