Recent proof-backed thesis calls
Recent analyst and podcast coverage highlights Kalshi and the broader prediction-market category. Discussions emphasize category optionality rather than specific corporate developments for Cboe, arguing that incumbents could capture new order flow or listed contract types if the sector expands.
Cathie Wood (ARK Invest) discusses macro signals (inflation/jobs/war) and highlights an unexpected divergence between PPI and CPI. The main concrete item is ARK’s announced partnership with Kalshi (a regulated prediction-market platform), framed as a potential catalyst for a broader “financial innovation wave” and new data/signals for markets.
Podcast episode featuring Kalshi’s Head of Research discussing prediction markets and how they could be used for forecasting and risk management. The excerpt provided contains no concrete corporate news, financial results, partnership announcement, regulatory decision, or product launch tied to a publicly traded company—mostly high-level discussion about the prediction-market category and Kalshi’s mission/background.
