Kalshi, the world’s next-generation financial exchange, and Artnet, the leading source for art market data and intelligence, today announced Artnet as Kalshi’s official art partner. Launching ahead of New York’s November marquee auction week, the partnership will see Artnet provide the data used to settle Kalshi’s art markets.

Kalshi introduced art prediction markets in May 2026, allowing users to trade on the outcomes of auction sales, fairs, and other major art world events. On Kalshi, users trade yes-or-no contracts in a peer-to-peer structure on the outcome of future events. The partnership with Artnet builds on that offering, creating new ways for art enthusiasts, collectors, and market watchers to take part in the art market.

This partnership combines Kalshi’s prediction market platform with Artnet’s market intelligence and data. Artnet will propose market topics for Kalshi’s consideration, including the auctions, art fairs, and other art world events generating the greatest interest across the industry. For example, markets might ask whether a particular auction lot will exceed its high estimate or whether a major multimillion-dollar sale will occur at an art fair. Such moments that shape the art industry can now become opportunities for a broader audience to take part.

“The art world’s biggest moments have always sparked debate. With Kalshi, we’re bringing nearly four decades of Artnet data and expertise to more people and giving them a new way to join the conversation,” said Jeffrey Yin, chief executive officer, Artnet and Artsy.

“Partnering with Artnet couples Kalshi’s art markets with Artnet’s unparalleled curation expertise and four decades of trusted data. The art world has historically been reserved to an elite cohort, but this collaboration allows art enthusiasts of any kind to participate in the cultural zeitgeist in an entirely new way.” – Ian Cook, Markets team at Kalshi

Artnet will provide the data to confirm the outcome of these markets, drawing on its expertise and the Artnet Price Database, the leading resource for auction results. Kalshi designs the contracts, operates the exchange, and resolves markets under its regulatory framework.
