CNBC partners with prediction market platform Kalshi to broadcast probability data live in programs starting in 2026

2025-12-05 00:34:18

[BlockBeats] Financial giant CNBC recently did something big—they signed a multi-year agreement with prediction market player Kalshi on December 5. What does this mean? From now on, you’ll be able to see real-time prediction market data on CNBC’s TV, website, and even their paid channels.

Starting in 2026, Kalshi’s event probability data will be directly integrated into flagship programs like “Squawk Box” and “Fast Money.” They even set up a dedicated ticker for tracking prediction trends at any time. Conversely, the Kalshi platform will also have a CNBC section showcasing their curated prediction projects.

Kalshi’s CEO, Tarek Mansour, is quite the speaker—he described this move as the “evolution” of financial reporting: not just telling you what’s happening now, but anticipating what’s coming next. CNBC President KC Sullivan echoed this sentiment, saying that prediction markets are now a key tool for understanding major events, and that Kalshi’s data will “add flavor” to their news coverage.

Interestingly, Kalshi just recently inked a similar deal with CNN, and now they’ve secured CNBC as well. It looks like mainstream media is truly catching on to the prediction market trend.

So now CNBC is really getting into prediction markets, broadcasting probability data starting in 2026? That's kind of interesting. --- Wait, isn't this just encouraging retail investors to gamble in disguise? Something feels off to me. --- Kalshi's marketing move this time is brilliant, going straight to a mainstream financial channel and instantly upping their prestige. --- Does teaming up with CNBC legitimize prediction markets? Aren't the regulators concerned? --- Yet another story of packaging gambling as "financial innovation," full of the usual tricks. --- Honestly, having real-time data might actually make it easier for people to get fleeced, seems like it's easier to get carried away. --- But it is indeed a breakthrough; prediction markets are finally coming into the spotlight. --- CNBC will do anything for ratings—this is going to be intense. --- The question is, can ordinary retail investors really make money here? Or is this just another playground for the suckers?

Oh my, did CNBC just bring gambling to television? By 2026, we’ll be able to see probability data—retail investors are going to get fleeced even more easily now. --- Prediction markets have gone viral, but why does it feel like this is just helping the big players take advantage of retail investors? --- Calling it “evolution” sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just legalizing gambling. Mainstream media really knows how to stir things up. --- This Kalshi move is wild—leveraging CNBC’s traffic to take off instantly, but man, the risks are wild, too. --- Wait, does this mean anchors will be trading stocks while reporting news and watching probability data? Feels like insider trading is getting even closer to us. --- Multi-year contracts? CNBC is really treating prediction markets as the future. Looks like something big is coming. --- Probability data displayed live on the ticker—I just want to know if this data can be manipulated... --- Financial programs are already misleading enough. Now, with probability data, newbies won’t know what to do even more. --- Kind of interesting, but this kind of partnership must put a lot of pressure on platform risk controls. --- CNBC and Kalshi are practically tied together now, just one step away from directly recommending investments.

Awesome, now even mainstream financial media are getting involved—prediction markets are really about to go mainstream. If this had existed from the start, I wouldn't have been liquidated three times. Kalshi's partnership with CNBC is solid; by 2026 you could bottom-fish just by watching live data, but I'm afraid this will just be the start of a new wave of newbies entering the market. They call it "evolution," but in reality, it's just legalizing gambling. I honestly want to see how the aunties react when they watch CNBC and suddenly see a bunch of probability data.

Damn, mainstream media is getting into prediction markets now. Are they trying to popularize gambling? But honestly, Kalshi’s move is pretty impressive—getting on CNBC’s prime time, there’s no way this won’t blow up. It only starts in 2026, so are people buying Kalshi now just betting on the gains in those two years? Now retail investors can watch probability data live—doesn’t that make it even easier for them to jump in? Legalizing prediction markets—doesn’t that count as a bullish signal? Is this something you can hold long-term? Is CNBC really trying to build an “intelligent investor” image here, or do they just want to cash in more? Feels like this partnership is Kalshi returning a favor. After all that controversy, now they’re turning to legacy financial media for support. Wait a second, could this affect the US odds market? Has anyone studied this?

Live prediction market data? Now it's even easier for retail investors to get rekt. Is CNBC trying to help us make money or helping institutions fleece retail investors?

I’ve long seen that the prediction market was going to explode—CNBC is really bold to bet on this. Now it’ll be even easier for retail investors to get rekt. Live probability data... sounds professional, but can you really make money from it? Not starting until 2026? Why wait so long? Wouldn’t it be better to roll it out sooner? Kalshi trying to hitch a ride with CNBC is pretty shrewd, but it’s still kind of wild for a mainstream financial channel to get involved in prediction markets. A multi-year contract... looks like they’re tying themselves together. Interesting. I have to say, live-streaming probability data is the kind of idea that gets people hooked. But all things considered, it’s a pretty big shift for traditional finance to actively embrace prediction markets. Let me show this to the group—this time, with CNBC backing it, it can’t be just vaporware. Why does it feel like the line between fintech and gambling is getting blurrier and blurrier...

Hey, someone finally brought gambling to mainstream TV, amazing. Prediction markets making their way into Squawk Box? Honestly, it’s just a new trick to fleece retail investors. This thing won’t launch until 2026? I’ll be old and gray by then. CNBC teaming up with Kalshi is just about making it easier for retail investors to "invest" in probabilities... I can see the money. The anchor talks about probability, but what about my odds? Hilarious.

Oh wow, so CNBC is really going to legalize gambling now... But to be fair, data visualization does attract a lot of attention. --- Prediction markets entering traditional financial media—feels like we're one step closer to crypto "breaking into the mainstream," right? --- Wait, it only starts in 2026? Why is it so slow? I want to see Kalshi's data right now. --- Interesting, this will make it even easier for regular people to gamble on futures. --- Mainstream media embracing prediction markets—times really have changed. --- But honestly, with probability data on TV, everyone needs to watch out for getting rekt, guys. --- Kalshi played this move well, kind of makes me want to try it... has anyone gotten in yet? --- Wow, even CNBC is getting into this game? Can traditional finance still stay in its lane?

Now prediction markets are going to be on mainstream TV. Great, we're going to see another bunch of retail investors get tricked by probabilities into placing bets. Wait, this partnership doesn't start until 2026? So buying Kalshi now is basically betting that it survives until next year. Feels like CNBC is trying to find new appeal anyway, since not many people watch financial programs anymore. Kalshi's PR move is pretty good this time, directly getting onboard with CNBC. It's all just data, not real money, just something to watch for fun. After prediction markets take off, will regulators step in? Or is the US already starting to relax the rules? Just waiting for this "evolution" to trap people. This partnership looks good, but I still doubt that ordinary people can make money from it.
