Some professional announcements are purely career moves. For me, this feels like coming home to family.
I’m returning to @Kalshi as CEO of Kalshi Prime.

Thrilled to finally announce our partnership with S&P today, and for everyone to see the scale of our ambition at Kalshi.
Kalshi and S&P came together around a shared vision: giving anyone direct exposure to the events that shape our world. That idea has been at the core of what we’re building at Kalshi from day one, and we're excited to expand this even further with our partnership.
Every trader knows the S&P 500. For decades it has anchored how people invest in companies and helped build the modern financial ecosystem. I'm so excited for us to work together on what comes next: making the macroeconomic trends that move companies tradable in their own right.

S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kalshi are joining forces to build the next generation of financial markets.
The Dow launched in 1896. The S&P 500 in 1957. The idea was simple: bring individual stocks together into a single benchmark, giving people a clearer view of the broader market.
ilt around those benchmarks transformed investing. Index funds, ETFs, futures, and options gave investors ways to gain diversified market exposure and hedge broad market swings.
These indices became foundations of global finance. More than $20 trillion is indexed or benchmarked to the S&P 500 alone.
Today, this structure extends beyond stocks to bonds, commodities, currencies, and more.
The next step is to bring that structure to the events that shape everyone’s lives.
Through this partnership, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kalshi will work together to create indices composed of Kalshi event contracts.
Think about what that opens up.
An index of political power. An index of supply chain risk. An index tracking AI’s impact on employment. An index of sports outcomes that affect broadcasters, advertisers, cities, and small businesses. An index of weather risks that shape harvests, energy demand, and business revenues.
Each would bundle event contracts into a single indicator, helping people understand how related risks are evolving.
Over time, products built around these indices could offer diversified exposure to those events and new ways to hedge their impact.
The events that shape our lives could become as easy to track and gain exposure to as the S&P 500.

Today we’re launching markets on Business Sector KPI’s.
Kalshi originally launched KPI markets to provide investors with direct exposure to the underlying events that move stocks.
If you had a thesis on Tesla’s Q4 car deliveries, instead of just buying or shorting the stock as enabled you to trade directly on the number of deliveries.
But what if your thesis isn't about a single company, but rather a broader, sector-wide trend?
If you are bullish on the adoption of robotics, delivery apps, or content streaming, you could buy a basket (ETF) of individual stocks in each sector, but in doing so, you become exposed to the external variables that influence stock prices.
Our new Sector KPI markets enable users to trade on aggregated performance.
For example, if you have a view on the mobile adoption of AI, you can now trade on the combined monthly downloads for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok.
We have KPI markets for aggregated credit card spend, point of sale data, and foot traffic, with more to come.
These markets offer a new way to express an opinion and, of course, hedge risk.

CEO and co-founder of @Kalshi @mansourtarek_ fireside at @CFTC @KState AgCon. “Markets don’t lie”. Prediction market tools complement traditional market structure - to illuminate and hedge risks not captured by the incumbents.

Biggest misconception: difference between probability and polling - 60% likelihood different from 60% polling.
Also: Kalshi traders more likely to have worked in retail than on Wall Street

For too long, the @CFTC and @SECGov were locked in regulatory turf battles, unable to even agree on who regulates what.
Those days are over. @SECPaulSAtkins and I are turning the page on jurisdictional disputes and bringing long-overdue clarity to American markets. More on @Bankless:
