Kalshi is discussing a new funding round at a prospective $65 billion valuation while federal and state regulatory questions cloud its expansion. JUST (JST) is trading at $0.146. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Cointribune, with live market data added, as of Sat, 14 Nov 2026 12:45:03 UTC.
The proposed valuation would place substantial market expectations on Kalshi while the legal status of prediction markets remains unsettled. Its ability to expand and eventually pursue an IPO depends in part on how regulators distinguish federal commodities oversight from state gambling rules.

- Kalshi Weighs a $65 Billion Valuation as Legal Pressure Mounts — this brief
Kalshi, the U.S. prediction-markets platform, is reportedly considering another funding round that could lift its valuation to $65 billion. Cointribune, citing Bloomberg, said discussions are under way; the round's proposed size was not supplied. The prospective valuation comes only about one month after Kalshi raised $1 billion at a $40 billion valuation.
Regulatory uncertainty remains prominent alongside the fundraising discussions. TronWeekly reports that federal regulators have challenged the company's Arkansas operations, questioning whether prediction markets are subject to federal commodities law or state gambling rules. Cointribune more broadly describes several unresolved regulatory battles, but does not identify the Arkansas dispute in its summary.
The two outlets corroborate the importance of Kalshi's legal position, but they focus on different aspects of the company's situation. Cointribune emphasizes the rapid change in funding valuation and notes that an IPO is not expected before 2027. TronWeekly concentrates on the regulatory mechanism at issue in Arkansas, where federal commodities rules and state gambling requirements may point to different oversight paths.
The wider crypto market was broadly lower in the supplied live data. Total market capitalization was $2.34 trillion, 
Bitcoin was down 3.08% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index stood at 13, labelled Extreme Fear. Among the listed assets, 
JUST traded at $0.146022, down 0.13% over 24 hours but up 2.54% over seven days, with a $1.17 billion market capitalization; the supplied material does not link JUST directly to Kalshi.
Kalshi's valuation discussions therefore sit against a combination of rapid capital raising and unresolved legal exposure. The developments to monitor are whether the proposed funding round advances and at what size, how the Arkansas challenge is resolved, and whether other regulatory battles remain unresolved before the company considers a public listing, which Cointribune says is not expected before 2027.
Since this brief published about 6 hours ago, JUST (JST) has moved from $0.146 to $0.146 — -0.03%.
The chart plots JST's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 JST ≈ ₦205.64 (about $0.146), up 0.3% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
