Donald Trump Jr.
We are beyond excited to announce that Donald Trump Jr. has joined Kalshi as a Strategic Advisor.
This important addition to our team marks a major milestone for the future of Kalshi—and for how Americans uncover the truth in today’s fractured, often biased media landscape. With his extensive business experience and influence, Don Jr. brings a fresh perspective to Kalshi as we continue to push prediction markets into the mainstream.
A Proven Tool for Truth
In the run-up to the 2024 election, polls and traditional media failed to anticipate President-Elect Trump’s decisive victory. And on Election Day, mainstream outlets lagged hours behind Kalshi’s real-time, market-driven results. That’s why Trump’s election team turned to Kalshi to track their progress and gain critical insights that were simply unavailable elsewhere.
"On Election night at Mar-a-Lago, while biased outlets called the race a coin toss, my family and close friends used the prediction market Kalshi to know we won hours ahead of the fake news media," Trump Jr. said in a statement posted on X. "I immediately knew I had to contribute to their mission."
Don Jr.’s firsthand experience using our platform on election night confirmed what we’ve always believed—prediction markets are the fastest, most powerful tool for uncovering the truth. His recognition of Kalshi's potential highlights the growing need for transparent, data-driven insights in a world overwhelmed by misinformation.

The Future of Finance and News
Kalshi has already shattered barriers by becoming the first regulated prediction market in the U.S. But this is just the beginning. With Donald Trump Jr. on board, we’re charging ahead to make event trading as commonplace and influential as traditional financial markets.
That said, our vision extends beyond finance. In today’s information age, the power to predict and prepare is more valuable than ever. That's why we are building a future where markets empower individuals with real-time insights, offering a more accurate, transparent alternative to traditional
