Kalshi has launched a low-latency market data feed covering sports and crypto perpetuals, distributed through the DoubleZero network, bringing prediction-market data infrastructure onto a dedicated delivery layer built for real-time trading applications.
The rollout was disclosed in a launch announcement describing the Kalshi market data feed going live on DoubleZero Edge. The feed pairs Kalshi’s prediction-market data with crypto perpetuals coverage, distributed over the DoubleZero delivery layer.
What Kalshi put on DoubleZero
The feed carries two categories of market data: sports markets and crypto perpetuals. That combination reflects Kalshi’s positioning at the intersection of event-based prediction markets and crypto-linked trading. For related coverage, see Trump Media to Terminate Crypto.com Deal: What It Means.
Kalshi has featured prominently in prediction-market activity this year, including the billions in wagers placed around the World Cup final across Kalshi and Polymarket. Distributing a structured data feed extends that footprint from user-facing markets toward the data-infrastructure side of the business.

Why DoubleZero matters for this rollout
DoubleZero is the delivery layer named in the announcement, and it is the detail that gives the launch relevance beyond a routine product listing. Dedicated networks are built to move real-time data with lower latency and more predictable delivery than the public internet, which matters for anyone consuming trading-related feeds.

For traders, builders and downstream data consumers, distribution over such a network can affect how quickly and reliably they receive market updates. Any concrete performance gains, however, depend on actual adoption and integration rather than the launch alone.
What the launch could signal
By pushing a feed that couples alternative market data with crypto perpetuals, Kalshi is connecting prediction-market activity to an audience already tracking crypto derivatives. New feeds of this kind can shape how platforms, analysts and traders monitor market activity.
The step also fits Kalshi’s broader trajectory as a regulated venue navigating a shifting policy landscape, from public distancing from an IRS arrangement to a court ruling that blocked a Minnesota prediction-market ban affecting the company. Building out data distribution is a different lever than defending market access, but both point to Kalshi expanding its infrastructure.
What is established today is narrow: the feed exists, it covers sports and crypto perpetuals, and it is being distributed on DoubleZero. Whether it becomes a meaningful data source for crypto trading will depend on how widely it is adopted.
