Prediction market Kalshi has opened a new office in Washington, D.C., as part of a broader effort to shape how regulators and lawmakers oversee the prediction market industry.
The platform said the office will serve as its hub for federal and state government engagement, a signal of its intent to deepen policy influence amid growing legal and political scrutiny across the U.S., according to The Block.
To go along with their new office, Kalshi has appointed veteran political strategist John Bivona as its first head of federal government relations.
Bivona’s experience includes nearly two decades in politics, including at the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration. His most recent role was with Kalshi’s outside lobbying firm, Intersection Government Relations.
