DoubleZero has expanded its Edge market-data platform to include Kalshi’s election and politics markets, bringing prediction-market data onto the same low-latency infrastructure already used for Kalshi sports markets and crypto perpetual futures.

The launch comes as trading linked to the 2026 U.S. midterm elections accelerates, increasing demand among professional and automated traders for faster, machine-readable market data.

Kalshi’s Election \u0026 Politics market data is now live on DoubleZero Edge. Power your trading strategies, hedge political risk, and build live election dashboards with low latency, full-depth feeds. Just in time for the 2026 U.S. midterms. 🗳️ — DoubleZero (@doublezero) September 9, 2026

Kalshi Election Markets Go Live on DoubleZero Edge

The integration gives subscribers access to real-time data from Kalshi’s election contracts through DoubleZero’s dedicated fiber network. The platform is designed to deliver low-latency market information to trading systems, analytics platforms and artificial intelligence applications.

The new election feed includes both Level 1 and Level 2 information: top bid and offer data, completed trades, and aggregated order-book depth by price. While a headline probability can show where a contract is trading in the market, order-book information provides additional detail about available liquidity and how aggressively traders are hedging a potential result.

Existing DoubleZero Edge clients using another Kalshi market can access the new election data through the same connection and process.

Infrastructure for Automated Trading

DoubleZero said its Edge platform is designed to support automated and AI-based trading by making market data available for integration with existing models, trading systems and analytics applications.

The company has also released an MCP server to simplify access to its data feeds. Agents can use it to identify available markets, establish connections and troubleshoot parts of the setup without completing the entire process manually.

Low-latency infrastructure can be particularly relevant during rapidly changing political events. Prediction-market prices may respond quickly to election debates, polling changes, court rulings and breaking news.

More Than $133 Million Wagered on Midterm Markets

The timing of the expansion reflects the growth of election-related prediction markets. According to figures included in the DoubleZero announcement, more than $133 million had been wagered on House and Senate races across major prediction-market platforms by mid-August. That total exceeded the amount traded during the entire 2024 congressional election cycle.

The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are scheduled for Nov. 3, with all 435 House of Representatives seats and 33 Senate seats in play.

Political contracts are increasingly being used as real-time indicators of market participants’ expectations. Professional traders can use changes in contract prices to monitor reactions to new information, while companies can incorporate the data into risk-management and automated trading systems.

DoubleZero previously offered sports-betting markets and crypto perpetual futures through Edge. The addition of election and politics contracts expands the range of prediction markets available on the platform and reflects the development of prediction-market infrastructure beyond the retail betting applications commonly associated with the crypto sector.

Real-time order-book data, automated connectivity and low-latency delivery are becoming components of the infrastructure used to incorporate prediction markets into professional trading workflows.
