Kalshi expands financial offerings through S&P DJI partnership and inflation futures

Prediction market platform Kalshi has entered into a partnership with S&P Dow Jones Indices (DJI) to offer event contracts tied to the index provider’s benchmarks. Under the agreement, Kalshi will serve as a preferred platform for contracts linked to S&P DJI indices, with settlements based on official published values. S&P DJI is also exploring the development of new indexes that utilize Kalshi’s prediction market data to track expectations regarding economic, political, and sporting events.

Separately, Kalshi is reportedly preparing to launch a futures market tracking inflation metrics, specifically the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and core inflation, potentially as early as December. To support this initiative, the company has teamed with Michael Ashton, managing principal of Enduring Investments, to design the contracts and engage major investment firms. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour confirmed the company is working on CPI futures, noting the goal is to provide better tools for pricing inflation.
