Kalshi is the largest prediction market in America, creating an entire trading economy around political, sports, and cultural events. To some, including several states, it’s an illegal effort that requires gambling licenses. To others, among which include some courts and members of the Trump administration, it’s just a new financial opportunity.

TechCrunch Senior Reporter Maxwell Zeff covered all of that, and much more about Mansour’s perspective on why he views Kalshi as a global source of truth, in a StrictlyVC event in San Francisco.

StrictlyVC brings together the most important insights and most notable figures across a wide range of tech companies, and it’s now a part of TechCrunch.
