Kalshi vs. Everyone: Co-Founder Luana Lopes Lara on the lawsuits and the long game

Kalshi vs. Everyone: Co-Founder Luana Lopes Lara on the lawsuits and the long game

Published 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Prediction markets incentivize truth. Everything else incentivizes clickbait. That's the core argument Luana Lopes Lara makes for Kalshi — the prediction market platform she co-founded that has gone from $5 billion to $22 billion in valuation in under a year, and is now being sued by New York's attorney general for $36 billion. Luana joins Rapid Response to make the case that Kalshi is fundamentally different from DraftKings — even though 75% of its volume is sports — explain why George Santos got banned for trying to trade on his own congressional attendance, and share what Kalshi's data actually says about the midterms. Plus the Timothée Chalamet dentist-chair ad, what ballet taught her about running a company, and what it's actually like to become the world's youngest self-made female billionaire.
