Kalshi’s political prediction market feeds are now streaming through DoubleZero’s high-speed data infrastructure, providing professional traders and algorithmic systems with instantaneous access to election market order flow before the November 2026 U.S. congressional elections.
Technical Capabilities of the New Data Feed
DoubleZero Edge, the data distribution service operating on DoubleZero’s fiber infrastructure, now includes Kalshi’s political contracts in its streaming lineup alongside existing sports and cryptocurrency perpetual futures feeds. The service transmits executed trades, top-of-book quotes, and consolidated order depth across multiple price tiers.
Unlike basic probability summaries, comprehensive order-book information reveals the actual market depth supporting probability figures and captures how rapidly traders adjust their positions following news developments.
Austin Federa, DoubleZero’s co-founder, emphasized the importance of speed. When major political events like debates, judicial decisions, or unexpected news stories trigger market movements within seconds, stale data becomes worthless for trading decisions.
The initiative seeks to transform political outcome probabilities into standardized, machine-accessible data streams that sophisticated traders and artificial intelligence systems can leverage immediately.
Congressional Betting Markets Show Explosive Growth
The November 3 congressional elections will determine legislative control during President Donald Trump’s final two years in office. Voters will decide all 435 House of Representatives seats along with 33 Senate positions.
The results will either enable Republicans to push forward with Trump’s policy priorities or empower Democrats to obstruct legislation while conducting oversight investigations.
Market activity surrounding these midterm contests has expanded dramatically. Trading volume exceeding $133 million has flowed through Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US for 2026 House and Senate races as of August 10.
This figure has already eclipsed the $92.4 million traded throughout the complete 2024 congressional election period, based on data from the Anti-Corruption Data Collective cited by Reuters.
Kalshi’s House control contract alone has generated over $35 million in trading volume. Current market pricing assigns Democrats an 84% likelihood of securing House majority control.
DoubleZero operates as a worldwide fiber-optic network designed for high-performance decentralized applications. The system relies on independent fiber infrastructure providers coordinated through blockchain-based protocols. Its organizational foundation maintains headquarters in the Cayman Islands.
Kalshi functions as a federally regulated prediction market platform offering event-based contracts connected to political developments, economic indicators, and various real-world occurrences.
Andy Ross, Kalshi’s institutional business leader, noted the integration facilitates seamless incorporation of political market information into professional trading systems as election outcome expectations evolve.
DoubleZero Edge currently handles data distribution for Kalshi’s sports betting contracts and cryptocurrency derivative markets. Adding political election data represents a strategic move into governmental prediction markets using identical technical architecture.
Trading activity connected to the upcoming November congressional elections continues building momentum as election day draws closer.
