Kalshi operates as a regulated exchange in the United States where traders can speculate on the outcomes of various events through a unique financial product called 'event contracts.' These contracts allow investors to bet on whether specific future events will happen, such as changes in Covid-19 statistics or legislative decisions in Congress. The platform expands the traditional futures market by addressing new types of economic risks. Kalshi caters to both individual investors and institutional traders, providing them with opportunities to hedge against or speculate on events that have economic implications. The company earns revenue by charging transaction fees on trades made on its platform. Kalshi has received regulatory approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), distinguishing it from other trading platforms by its compliance and focus on event-based trading.
