CNBC and Kalshi agreed to a multi‑year, exclusive partnership that will integrate real‑time prediction‑market data across CNBC’s television, digital, and subscription platforms beginning in 2026. The deal is the first of its kind in a major global financial newsroom and will surface live, market‑driven probabilities showing how traders price major economic, political, and cultural events.
Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction market, generates live probabilities based on trades tied to real‑world outcomes. Under the agreement, CNBC will display Kalshi forecasts on programs including Squawk Box and Fast Money, support those displays with a dedicated on‑screen ticker, and host a CNBC‑curated page within Kalshi’s platform to give viewers continuous prediction insights.
CNBC President KC Sullivan said prediction markets are becoming an important tool for investors tracking event risk. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour described the partnership as a shift toward newsrooms using forward‑looking market signals to show what may happen next, adding a new layer of market‑priced probabilities to conventional reporting.
