Prediction market startup Kalshi is in talks to raise new funds at a $65 billion valuation to build a platform for trading compute futures, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday. The discussions follow the finalization of a $1 billion funding round late last month that valued the company at $22 billion. The aggressive fundraising push highlights surging investor demand for specialized derivatives in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
