Key Highlights

• Real-time election market data from Kalshi is now accessible through DoubleZero’s high-speed data network
• The data stream provides live trades, top bid-ask spreads, and complete order book information for political betting markets
• Wagering on the 2026 midterm elections has already exceeded $133 million, surpassing the complete 2024 election cycle
• Current Kalshi market pricing shows Democrats with an 84% probability of capturing House control
• The partnership is designed to deliver political market intelligence to institutional participants and algorithmic trading platforms

Kalshi’s political prediction market information has been integrated into DoubleZero’s high-speed data infrastructure, providing professional traders and algorithmic systems with immediate access to election market order flow in preparation for the November 2026 U.S. congressional elections.

Details of the Data Feed

DoubleZero Edge, which handles data distribution for the DoubleZero fiber infrastructure, has begun transmitting Kalshi’s political contracts in addition to its current sports and cryptocurrency derivatives offerings. The information stream includes executed trades, top-of-book quotations, and consolidated order depth across multiple price points.

This integration goes beyond simple probability numbers. Complete order book transparency reveals the actual liquidity supporting market prices and demonstrates how rapidly participants adjust their positions following major developments.

According to Austin Federa, DoubleZero’s co-founder, timing is critical in these markets. When significant events like policy announcements, legal decisions, or unexpected news create market movement within seconds, stale data becomes worthless for decision-making.

The objective is to transform political outcome probabilities into actionable, machine-readable information that sophisticated traders and artificial intelligence platforms can process instantaneously.

Record-Breaking Midterm Market Activity

The upcoming November 3 midterm elections will determine congressional control during President Donald Trump’s final two years in office. Voters will select representatives for all 435 House positions and 33 Senate seats.

These results will determine whether Republicans maintain their ability to push forward Trump’s policy priorities, or if Democrats gain the authority to obstruct legislation and control congressional oversight functions.

Market participation surrounding these midterm contests has expanded dramatically. By August 10, cumulative wagers across Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US for 2026 House and Senate races exceeded $133 million.

This figure has already overtaken the $92.4 million in total trading volume recorded throughout the entire 2024 congressional election season, based on data from the Anti-Corruption Data Collective cited by Reuters.

Specifically on Kalshi’s House control contract, trading volume has surpassed $35 million. Current market pricing assigns Democrats an 84% likelihood of securing House majority control.

DoubleZero operates as a worldwide fiber optic network engineered for high-efficiency distributed computing applications. The infrastructure relies on independent fiber providers coordinated via a blockchain-based governance system. The organization’s foundation operates from the Cayman Islands.

Kalshi functions as a federally supervised prediction market platform facilitating event-based contracts connected to political races, economic indicators, and various real-world developments.

Andy Ross, who leads institutional services at Kalshi, indicated the partnership aims to simplify the integration of political market intelligence into professional trading systems as electoral forecasts evolve.

The DoubleZero Edge infrastructure currently carries information from Kalshi’s sports wagering products and cryptocurrency perpetual contracts. Incorporating election market data represents the platform’s entry into political forecasting using identical technical architecture.

Market activity connected to the November congressional races continues to intensify as election day draws closer.
