Kalshi and S&P Dow Jones Plan Event-Based Indexes as Gambling Lawsuits Mount

A new alliance was confirmed this Tuesday between Kalshi and S&P Dow Jones Indices. The partnership is set to structure event-based indices, linking official stock market benchmarks with direct prediction contracts. The agreement, officially announced on Monday, October 26, grants Kalshi a license as the preferred platform to list event contracts settling against official reference values managed by S&P Dow Jones Indices. In return, the global index provider will use Kalshi’s trading records as a preferred source to develop new indicators across sectors including politics, economics, and sporting events.
