Millions watched Kalshi’s election odds without betting a dollar

Kalshi said the number of people watching its midterm markets was five times the number of traders, and that millions of people used the platform on election night this week without buying anything. Its midterm display included maps of congressional races and a forecast that keeps moving while the country waits for an answer. Kalshi runs those markets, which involve traders, while its election-night presentation allowed spectators to follow the races and forecast without making a purchase. The five-to-one figure compares viewers with traders in the same midterm markets.
