Google Adds Kalshi and Polymarket Data to Search
Google has added data from the prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket to Google Finance.
Integration of Prediction Markets into Google
The company announced that information on probabilities of future events will appear directly in search results. The new feature will roll out to users in the coming weeks, starting with Google Labs.
Google explained that predictions formed by large groups of traders provide a collective real-time assessment of event probabilities. Users will now be able to track how market expectations shift and access future-oriented data more easily.
Polymarket and Kalshi Metrics
The platforms continue to grow and attract major investment interest. Polymarket recently received a $2 billion investment from Intercontinental Exchange, valuing the platform at $9 billion. Kalshi raised $300 million at a $5 billion valuation from Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.
| Platform | Valuation | Investment | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polymarket | $9B | $2B | Record highs in October |
| Kalshi | $5B | $300M | $4.4B volume last month |
Polymarket has also confirmed plans to launch a POLY token and hold an airdrop. Kalshi announced its intention to appear on every major crypto app within the next 12 months.
Expert Insights and Market Context
Bernstein analysts believe prediction markets are evolving into broader information hubs spanning sports, politics, economics, and culture. With both platforms showing rapid growth, Google’s integration of their data appears to be a natural step toward expanding this format.
Crypto Market Backdrop
The original report from The Block that covered Google’s integration also highlighted several additional topics:
- JPMorgan expects bitcoin to reach $170,000 within 6–12 months
- Cathie Wood reduced her long-term bitcoin outlook due to the expanding role of stablecoins
- Coinbase urged the U.S. Treasury to keep GENIUS Act rules aligned with congressional intent
- Balancer identified a rounding error as the cause of its recent $128 million exploit
Why Google Is Expanding the Feature
The integration of Polymarket and Kalshi data enables users to access probability forecasts directly in search without using third-party platforms. Google notes that this improves information accessibility and helps make the service more convenient.
The announcement of the update completed the latest Google Finance rollout and provided users with more tools to analyze future events.
