Kalshi ditches Trump Jr. as advisor; CEO admitted "optics" weren't good
摘要
Kalshi与特朗普长子小唐纳德·特朗普已共同同意终止其顾问职务。此前，小特朗普旗下的风投公司对Kalshi的竞争对手Polymarket进行了大额投资。Kalshi声明称，双方在去年夏天该投资后达成一致，并感谢其帮助推广平台。据《金融时报》报道，小特朗普2025年初加入Kalshi时曾获得约30万美元股权，目前可能仍持有财务权益。Kalshi受益于特朗普政
Donald Trump Jr. agreed to end his advisory role with the prediction market Kalshi shortly after Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm made a large investment in its competitor, Polymarket.
“We have mutually agreed to end Don's advisory role after his firm's significant investment in a competitor this past summer. We are grateful for his contributions in helping us market Kalshi to more customers," Kalshi said in a statement provided to Ars and other news outlets this week.
Trump Jr. may still have a financial interest in Kalshi, which has benefited from the Trump administration's legal and regulatory support for prediction markets. Trump Jr. "was handed about $300,000 worth of equity in Kalshi after joining the prediction market platform as a strategic adviser in early 2025," the Financial Times reported in June.
