Google is incorporating prediction market data from Kalshi and Polymarket into its search results as part of its AI-powered upgrade, enabling users to view real-time probabilities for future market events.
According to a Thursday announcement, the prediction market data will be available in the next couple of weeks, letting users view market odds and track how forecasts have shifted over time by typing a question directly into Google’s search bar.
The feature is part of an AI-powered revamp of Google Finance — a free web service by Google that provides real-time financial market data. The upgrade also introduces Deep Search, driven by its Gemini models, along with new live earnings features.
Polymarket, founded in 2020, is a decentralized prediction platform on the Polygon blockchain where users trade on real-world events, while Kalshi, founded in 2018, is a US CFTC-regulated exchange offering event contracts within the traditional financial system.
Both platforms allow users to wager on a wide range of events — from sports and political outcomes to more unconventional questions like “Trump declassifies UFO files before 2027?” or “Will Zohran Mamdani freeze NYC rent next year?”

The integration of prediction markets
Google isn’t the only company integrating prediction markets onto its platform.
In March, Robinhood launched a prediction market hub directly within its app, which was made available across the US through KalshiEX LLC. According to a Bloomberg report on Sept. 30, the company was in talks with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to determine how to launch a similar product in England.
In October, MetaMask announced plans to integrate Polymarket, a move that global product lead Gal Eldar said aligns with the company’s goal of expanding from a crypto wallet into a gateway for “democratized finance.”
The same month, World App, the digital wallet and identity platform from Sam Altman’s World project, integrated the Polymarket app to offer users in permitted regions access to onchain prediction markets.
Another report from Bloomberg on Tuesday noted that crypto exchange Gemini was aiming to enter the prediction market space.
