Kalshi has reportedly held early discussions with investment banks about a future initial public offering, according to a report on the company’s fundraising and revenue trajectory.

Even so, the numbers around the platform show why Wall Street is paying attention. TL;DR Kalshi has reportedly held early IPO discussions, but no listing has been formally announced.

Last Friday, citing unspecified national security concerns, the White House ordered Anthropic to restrict the export of its powerful AI models Fable and Mythos to anyone outside of the United States, as well as foreign nationals inside the country. Shortly after, the AI giant hastily pulled the plug on both models, which have now been unavailable to anyone for a week.  The episode is the first real test of whether the U.S. government can use export controls to contain frontier AI the way it has tried, with very uneven results, to contain encryption and spyware before it. And dramatic as…

This is a “watch closely” moment: a quick stabilization near current levels could hint at a rebound attempt, while continued weakness below 213.00 may…
