NBA star "Giannis Antetokounmpo" announces his participation as a shareholder in the prediction market Kalshi.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Greek professional basketball player currently playing for the NBA Milwaukee Bucks.

Giannis is not just a regular ambassador but participates as a shareholder. The prediction market is moving from a fringe product to mainstream finance and regulatory systems.

This is especially important for platforms like Kalshi that are regulated by the CFTC.

Although Kalshi follows a compliant American path, such events overall raise the valuation benchmarks for the "prediction market" sector, positively influencing sentiment and narratives for Polymarket, on-chain prediction protocols, and trading mining models.

Prediction markets are transitioning from "fringe arbitrage tools" to "financial products understandable by the public."
