  Reminder that real-money prediction markets came from academic research, originally @caltech c 1980s information revelation #experimentaleconomics then scaled at U Iowa https://iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu/ .... New sites are great but don't forget who invented them https://twitter.com/.…

  We need more prediction markets. Excited to watch @kalshi_official, which goes live this March and allows investors to bet on yes / no questions. Approved by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in Nov to run a derivatives exchange. https://www.wsj.com/...

  A real deal prediction market coming. Hopefully no bet limits and low trading costs. And contrary to this reporting I hope they DO get into elections https://www.wsj.com/...

  1/ Congrats to @Alfred_Lin of @Sequoia on leading a bold $30M pre-launch investment in @Kalshi_official. Kalshi is building an epochal business: a new financial exchange for trading on event outcomes. 🚀 (1 of 2) https://twitter.com/...

  Absolutely love this idea and glad that regulators aren't stopping it, when do we get to bet on $TSLA profitability? https://www.wsj.com/...

• @jeremylneufeld Jeremy L. Neufeld on x

  very exciting—has potential to provide better predictions on more questions than existing forecasting sites like GJOpen and Metaculus. And if it's avoiding politics, it needn't face the distortionary restrictions on Predictit https://www.wsj.com/...

  “It is unlikely that Kalshi would list contracts on election outcomes because in 2012 the CFTC blocked an effort to list political-event contracts, saying they involved gaming and weren't in the public interest.” https://twitter.com/...
