My guest today is Luana Lopes Lara, the co-founder of Kalshi. Kalshi is the first federally regulated exchange where you can trade Yes or No on the outcome of events. And I don’t just mean financial or economic events. You’re about to see what I mean. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:13 - What Kalshi is and why it’s a very unique company 00:01:19 - How events trading works 00:02:20 - What it took to get Kalshi approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or CFTC) - the first company of its kind to do so 00:39:01 - Why Billionaire Charles Schwab personally invested in the company 00:45:04 - Why Luana and her cofounder Tarik decided to create the company We don’t often discuss things like commodity or derivative trading on this show, so this was a big learning lesson for me. I suspect you’ll find Kalshi very interesting, regardless of what style investor you are.
