Giannis, one day post-deadline, has announced his role as a shareholder of gambling platform Kalshi: “The internet is full of opinions. I decided it was time to make some of my own. Today, I’m joining Kalshi as a shareholder. We all on Kalshi now.”
Kalshi and other “prediction markets” like it are currently the subject of controversy, their critics pointing to lack of regulation and significant potential for manipulation. Kalshi offers betting on sports, political events, and any and all other aspects of public life, with CEO Tarek Mansour’s stated goal being to “financialize everything and create a tradeable asset out of any difference in opinion.”
