Kalshi Hires Obama’s Advisor: ALT +32% Surge

Kalshi’s Stephanie Cutter Appointment and ALT Prediction Market

Prediction market platform Kalshi announced that it has added a former employee of former US President Barack Obama to its team as a policy advisor. Stephanie Cutter is joining Kalshi after leaving Precision Strategies, the communications firm she founded in 2013. The company plans to deepen its relationships in Washington DC and across the country with Cutter’s involvement. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour stated that Cutter’s government and political background will be effective in delivering the message to the right people. The platform already has US government connections; for example, Donald Trump Jr. was appointed as a strategic advisor in January 2025.

In the past year, Kalshi has faced lawsuits from several state authorities due to event contracts on sports events; these contracts are claimed to be illegal betting. The CFTC, led by Trump nominee Michael Selig, sued state gaming regulators, arguing it has exclusive authority over these markets. Some Democrats in Congress have demanded an investigation due to suspicious transactions. Platforms like Kalshi and ALT detailed analysis have announced measures to prevent insider information usage, but the proposed laws have not yet been enacted, and the outcome of the state lawsuits is uncertain.
