Kalshi cuts ties with adviser as firm increases investment in competitor, Mario Nawfal notes
Kalshi adviser departs after rival investment

Kalshi has ended its relationship with a key adviser after the adviser's venture firm expanded its investment in Polymarket, a direct rival.

Mario Nawfal reported that Don Jr. had been a strategic adviser to the $40 billion prediction market since early 2025, while his firm, 1789 Capital, continued growing its stake in the competitor.

Nawfal has recently commented on shifting valuations in high-profile markets. He reported that Anthropic could face a $500 billion cut to its planned IPO valuation. In a separate report, Nawfal also noted that economists no longer expect China to surpass the U.S. economy soon.
