Kalshi was co-founded by Tarek Mansour, who serves as CEO, and Luana Lopes Lara. The platform received CFTC approval as a designated contract market for event contracts in 2020, and in October 2024 a federal appeals court rejected the CFTC's emergency stay request, allowing Kalshi to offer trading on U.S. congressional control contracts. In May 2026, the CFTC approved Bitcoin perpetual futures trading for U.S. customers at Kalshi, with additional crypto-linked perpetual contracts pending regulatory review. CME Group subsequently sued the CFTC over approval of those perpetual futures contracts, which compete with CME offerings.

Kalshi has attracted significant institutional backing. Its Series C round of $185 million was led by Paradigm at a $2 billion valuation, with participation from Multicoin Capital, Sequoia Capital, Neo, and Citadel Securities CEO Peng Zhao, per Axios. The Financial Times reported in June 2026 that Kalshi had completed a $1 billion funding round at a $22 billion valuation and was in advanced talks to raise at a $40 billion valuation.

Additional backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Morgan Stanley, and Coatue. Kalshi has a strategic adviser in Donald Trump Jr. and a policy adviser in Stephanie Cutter, and has been affiliated with Robinhood, CNN, and CNBC.

The Financial Times also reported that several U.S. states, including Arizona and Massachusetts, had taken legal action against Kalshi for allegedly offering unlicensed gambling services.
