[Kalshi CEO Says Competition with Polymarket Drives Growth and Expands Industry Scale] Kalshi prediction market platform CEO Tarek Mansour stated on a podcast that the competitive relationship with rival Polymarket has driven both companies to work harder on their development. Mansour compared the competition between the two companies to a showdown between sports stars, noting that without Polymarket, they would not have pushed so hard on marketing and product development. This competition, he said, will help expand the industry's scale and bring long-term benefits to customers. Kalshi, founded in 2018, announced last week a partnership with CNN and CNBC and completed a $1 billion funding round at a $11 billion valuation. Its competitor Polymarket, founded in 2020, reached a valuation of $13.5 billion in November.

MAI策略师:美联储提醒勿将降息视为理所当然
[MAI Strategist: The Fed Warns Against Taking Rate Cuts for Granted] Chris Grisanti, Chief Market Strategist at New York-based MAI Capital Management, pointed out that while interest rates have been lowered as expected, the tailwind effect of rate cuts heading into 2026 will no longer be reliable. The Fed's revised wording emphasizes the uncertainty surrounding the 'magnitude and timing' of future rate cuts, essentially signaling to the market not to take rate cuts for granted. Grisanti believes that only a significant economic slowdown would lead to more rate cuts, and he would prefer a stable economy over additional rate cuts.
