## Summary

Kalshi has ended Donald Trump Jr.’s advisory contract, saying his investment firm’s stake in rival Polymarket created a conflict of interest. The move comes as prediction markets face the prospect of increased scrutiny from US lawmakers.

Talks about his exit began in August, after 1789 Capital announced a major investment in Polymarket. Trump Jr. remains an adviser to Polymarket; Kalshi’s chief executive previously called his connection to the company an “optics issue”, while saying it had not been used to seek government favour. He became a Kalshi adviser in January 2025.
