Thanks to the alliance with Kalshi, PrizePicks clients can now make predictions by purchasing contracts on a wide range of popular events, including cultural storylines such as music, movies and politics.

As noted, prediction markets also cover important sports events from across the globe.

PrizePicks' latest announcement comes after only recently, the company signed a deal with Polymarket, reaffirming its intentions to grow into the prediction markets vertical.
