Trump Jr. Backs Prediction Markets | Charleston News

Trump Jr. is pouring another $300M into prediction markets via his VC firm 1789 Capital—on top of an earlier $200M—fueling a betting boom on everything from Super Bowls to wars, with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi raking in millions. Kalshi even banned George Santos after he bet on himself showing up at the State of the Union. Trump Jr., who also advises both platforms and got $300K+ in stock joining Kalshi, is deep in this space as the Trump administration quietly backs these markets, even pushing back against state regulations.
