John Wang has spoken publicly about Kalshi's crypto ambitions, telling The Block that Kalshi would be integrated into every large crypto application and exchange within a year, as reported by Barron's. Kalshi expanded to 140 countries following a $300 million fundraising round that valued the company at $5 billion, per Investopedia, with the round led by Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz and including Coinbase Ventures. The Wall Street Journal subsequently reported that Kalshi reached a $22 billion valuation in an ongoing round led by Coatue Management, aiming to raise approximately $1 billion.
John Wang works at a platform that has also drawn regulatory attention on multiple fronts. The CFTC approved Bitcoin perpetual futures trading for U.S. customers at Kalshi, per The Wall Street Journal, with Kalshi planning to offer contracts tied to various cryptocurrencies pending further regulatory review. Separately, Business Insider reported that Arizona filed a 20-count misdemeanor indictment against Kalshi alleging counts of operating an unlicensed gambling business and election wagering; Kalshi called the charges meritless and said it would fight them in court. A federal judge in Phoenix subsequently temporarily blocked Arizona from enforcing its gambling laws against Kalshi, finding that CFTC jurisdiction under the Commodity Exchange Act preempted state law at that stage, per AP.
