CNN’s integration will be led by Harry Enten, the network’s chief data analyst, who specializes in polling and probability-based reporting. According to Kalshi, Enten will incorporate market odds into his coverage as an additional data point for assessing the likelihood of political or cultural developments.
The deal also grants CNN’s editorial, data, and production teams access to Kalshi’s real-time feeds, which the network says will support graphics generation, provide context for reporting, and facilitate the development of storylines around shifting expectations in U.S. politics and other major news cycles.
Kalshi recently closed a $1 billion funding round, which valued the precision market at $11 billion.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
