Kalshi examines prediction market bets on Katie Zacharia pick

Three wagers ahead of the announcement, costing about $19, $74 and $80, later mapped to the contract settling Yes, even as withdrawal restrictions were still unclear.

A prediction market on Kalshi has been scrutinized for how trades mapped to the reported selection of Katie Zacharia as the next White House press secretary, according to WSJ Markets.

The Defiant reports that three wagers, costing about $19, $74 and $80, came before the reports of Zacharia’s selection, and that the related contract has since settled Yes.

While the contract outcome was confirmed by the settlement, the outlets said individual withdrawal restrictions were not yet clear.
