Google Finance partners with Polymarket & Kalshi to integrate predictive markets into search
Google has announced a partnership with several predictive market companies, Polymarket and Kalshi. This collaboration will enable Google Finance to integrate Polymarket and Kalshi’s technology into search results and provide data on odds and future market events.
The details of this partnership were revealed in a press release published on Google’s newsroom website. Through this integration, Google Finance will incorporate data and predictive models from Polymarket and Kalshi into its search function. This will allow users to receive speculative answers on various market-related questions, complete with odds and percentages.
For example, Google shared that users can simply ask, “What will GDP growth be for 2025?” directly in the search box to see current market probabilities and how they have evolved over time. The rollout of prediction markets data will begin in the coming weeks, initially available to users of Google Labs.
This move by Google is particularly noteworthy given Polymarket’s controversial history. Although Polymarket provides users with odds and predictions based on its data models, it has faced accusations of operating as a gambling platform by several authorities worldwide. In the United States, the Department of Justice investigated Polymarket until the end of Donald Trump’s second presidential term. These investigations were eventually dropped without any new charges being filed against the company.
Overall, Google’s integration of predictive market data marks an interesting development in how market forecasts and speculative information are presented to the public.
