Summary · why it matters

Kalshi is partnering with The Weather Company, operator of Weather.com and The Weather Channel app, to expand its weather trading business, which it expects to reach $1.1 billion in volume this year. The Weather Company will supply meteorological data to verify contract outcomes, and the two firms plan to explore new markets around events such as ski conditions and marathon weather. Kalshi's weather markets generated $564 million in trading volume through July, already surpassing the platform's full-year 2025 total, with weather and climate volume up roughly 500% year over year. In a related development, Houston-based startup Discrete executed Kalshi's first privately negotiated weather-based block trade, buying a position that pays $25,000 if Houston reaches 103°F in August. Cantor Fitzgerald launched institutional block trading on Kalshi on Aug. 19, with Susquehanna Predictions supplying institutional-scale pricing and liquidity, signaling growing institutional interest in prediction markets as risk-management tools.
