How you make money

Investors on Kalshi make money when the outcomes of the contracts they bought match their position. For example, you purchase a contract that says “an earthquake will happen in California this month”. In this situation you profit if an earthquake happens and lose your investment if there is no earthquake, similar to sportsbetting. On Kalshi, however, the payout comes from the counterparty. This is unlike sportsbetting, where the payout comes  from “The House”. 

How Kalshi makes money

Kalshi makes money through a transaction fee based on the expected earnings of a contract. The fee is only paid by liquidity takers who are agreeing to buy or sell a specific contract what was set up by a liquidity maker. This fee structure encourages liquidity on the platform, and makes sure those with strong convictions have the ability to buy into the contracts they seek. Kalshi also charges a $2 ACH transfer fee on any deposits coming from the Kalshi platform.

Is it safe?

Kalshi is backed by some of the biggest names in banking and venture capital, including firms like  Y Combinator and Charles Schwab. This platform has been getting a ton of attention and funding because they are providing exposure to a unique asset class.
