S&P Dow Jones Indices, Kalshi Announce Collaboration for Benchmarks for Prediction Markets

 Agreement makes Kalshi a preferred prediction market platform for S&P DJI index contracts, and S&P DJI a preferred index provider for Kalshi event contract data

S&P Dow Jones Indices ("S&P DJI") and Kalshi today announced a strategic collaboration that brings the world's most trusted benchmarks to prediction markets, pairing the world's leading index provider with the world's largest prediction market platform.

Under the agreement, Kalshi becomes a preferred prediction market platform licensed for event contracts tied to S&P DJI indices. In addition, S&P DJI becomes a preferred provider for constructing indices from Kalshi event contract data.

Forthcoming Kalshi event contracts will settle against official index values published by S&P DJI, the same reference standard that professional markets rely on every day. For users, that means contracts built on transparent methodologies, quality data, independent calculation and governance, and a name the world's financial institutions trust.

The collaboration will also bring together Kalshi's market data and S&P DJI's expertise to open the door for indices, such as indices on economics, politics, and sports, built from the underlying markets on Kalshi. Event contracts turn expectations about real-world outcomes into prices. Applying S&P DJI's index methodologies to Kalshi data will enable the creation of indices that reflect those expectations, offering market participants a new way to observe and assess signals stemming from prediction markets.
