Oddpool Joins Kalshi After $3 Million Seed Round

Prediction market data startup Oddpool said it has joined Kalshi after graduating from Y Combinator this spring and closing a $3 million seed round. According to ChainCatcher, the company said it has been building tools for institutional adoption of prediction markets and treating them as a real asset class. Oddpool said it chose prediction markets because they aggregate information by matching buyers and sellers and setting prices through open bidding. The company said traditional derivatives markets already provide price discovery for key economic inputs such as commodities, energy, and interest rates, while prediction markets extend that process to politics, sports, climate, and culture. Oddpool added that it has been building a data layer to help institutions, economists, policymakers, and business owners interpret data and support decision-making.
