Google is enhancing its Google Finance platform with advanced AI capabilities, integrating real-time data from prediction markets Polymarket and Kalshi. The rollout will occur over the coming weeks, starting with early access for Google Labs users, allowing natural language queries like 'What will GDP growth be for 2025?' to fetch crowd-sourced probabilities and track sentiment shifts.
Polymarket, valued at approximately $9 billion after Intercontinental Exchange backing, reported its highest monthly volume and active users in October. It anticipates re-entering the U.S. market by end-November post-regulatory clearance and has confirmed the launch of its native POLY token with a planned airdrop. Kalshi, valued at $5 billion following a $300 million raise, aims to integrate into major crypto exchanges within the next year, focusing on events like GDP growth and rate decisions.
This integration aligns with Google's broader AI-driven financial tools, including Deep Search and earnings trackers, and will expand internationally, beginning with India. Prediction market volumes hit a weekly record of over $2 billion in late October, fueled by platforms like Polymarket and partnerships such as Robinhood's with Kalshi, which CEO Vlad Tenev described as 'on fire' during Q3 earnings.
