由兩名前 Kalshi 早期員工創立的創投基金 5c© Capital,正籌資 3,500 萬美元首期資金。該基金由 Kalshi 早期核心成員 Adhi Rajaprabhakaran 與前營運主管 Noah Zingler-Sternig 共同創立,名稱「5c©」源自美國商品與衍生品監管法條,象徵預測市場正逐步納入金融監管體系之中。
值得注意的是,Kalshi 的執行長 Tarek Mansour 與 Polymarket 執行長 Shayne Coplan、a16z 創辦人 Marc Andreessen 也都是投資人。
「5c©」源自監管法條,象徵預測市場走入監管
Fortune 報導,該基金由 Kalshi 早期核心成員 Adhi Rajaprabhakaran 與前營運主管 Noah Zingler-Sternig 共同創立,名稱「5c©」源自美國商品與衍生品監管法條,象徵預測市場正逐步納入金融監管體系之中。該公司正籌集 3,800 萬美元首期資金。據了解,基金將專注投資預測市場相關基礎設施,包括做市商、指數設計,以及其他關鍵應用層服務。
Polymarket、Kalshi 執行長與 a16z 創辦人皆為投資人
值得注意的是,Kalshi 的執行長 Tarek Mansour 與 Polymarket 執行長 Shayne Coplan 卻同時成為該基金的早期投資人,顯示產業內部對「預測市場基礎建設」的共識正在形成。
除了兩大平台創辦人,5c© Capital 也吸引多位重量級創投支持,包括 a16z 創辦人 Marc Andreessen(透過 Moneta Luna 基金)、Ribbit Capital 創辦人 Micky Malka,以及前 Multicoin Capital 合夥人 Kyle Samani 等,陣容堪稱豪華。
5c© Capital 視預測市場為「世代級投資機會」
Fortune 指出,5c© Capital 在募資文件中仍將預測市場視為「世代級投資機會」。該基金計劃在未來兩年投資約 20 家新創,押注這一新興市場的基礎設施層發展,試圖在產業成形初期建立關鍵節點。
不過預測市場最近仍面臨諸多不利,一方面屢屢因內幕交易遭到調查。另一方面,美國國會議員擬提議禁止體育賽事預測。Polymarket 才剛與 MLB 美國職棒大聯盟進行合作,Kalshi 也得到 NBA 巨星字母哥入股。

巴西全面封禁 Polymarket、Kalshi 等 27 個預測市場平台:新興市場最大規模 Prediction Market 禁令
巴西政府於2026年4月24日宣布全面封禁27個預測市場平台(含 Polymarket、Kalshi),指其未取得牌照且不符現行博彩法,當日後連線受阻。新法僅允許以實體賽事結果為基礎的固定賠率投注,事件型預測合約仍屬非法;央行補充未滿衍生品交易監管門檻。此舉被視為全球新興市場擴張的首例重大負面案例,未來或影響印度、印尼、土耳其等地的監管與跨境合規談判。
