DoubleZero has integrated Kalshi’s political and election prediction markets into its low-latency data platform, providing institutional and programmatic traders with live order-book details ahead of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
As stated in a press release issued Wednesday by the DoubleZero Foundation, the subscription stream encompasses transactions, top-of-book quotes, and market depth grouped by price. This information is transmitted via DoubleZero Edge, which leverages the project’s dedicated fiber network for data distribution.
This development could enhance the utility of political probabilities as indicators for trading, risk mitigation, and hedging strategies. Access to comprehensive order-book statistics reveals the underlying liquidity supporting headline odds and demonstrates how swiftly market participants adjust prices when breaking news occurs.
Headquartered in the Cayman Islands, DoubleZero runs a crowd-sourced fiber network powered by Solana that is engineered to supply low-latency data. Its technological framework caters to distributed ledgers, forecasting platforms, and alternative decentralized environments where velocity and dependable transmission are paramount. Kalshi functions as a federally overseen prediction-market platform that provides event contracts linked to political, economic, and alternative future results.
Scheduled for November 3, the midterm elections will decide congressional leadership for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s administration, with every single seat in the House of Representatives and 33 Senate positions up for election. The results could either maintain the Republican party’s capacity to push forward Trump’s policy objectives and secure confirmations for judicial and executive appointees, or empower Democrats to obstruct legislation, initiate congressional probes, and restrict the executive branch.
“Prediction markets are emerging as a vital feed of current global events, but that intelligence is only valuable insofar as the speed with which one can execute decisions based upon it,” remarked Austin Federa, co-founder of DoubleZero, in electronic mail statements.
“When a debate, judicial decision, or sudden news flash alters market trajectory within seconds, an outdated snapshot becomes worthless. Bringing Kalshi’s live election and political order-book data onto DoubleZero Edge transforms those odds into machine-actionable market signals that algorithmic traders and automated AI frameworks can instantly process and trade against,” he continued.
This rollout arrives as betting volume related to the November 3 midterms picks up pace.
Statistics compiled by the Anti-Corruption Data Collective and highlighted by Reuters indicate that exceeding $133 million had been staked on 2026 House and Senate contests across Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US as of August 10, easily eclipsing the $92.4 million recorded over the entirety of the 2024 congressional cycle.
