Google has announced a new partnership with predictive markets companies Polymarket and Kalshi. This collaboration will allow Google Finance to integrate Polymarket and Kalshi’s technology into search and data features related to odds and future market events.
The details of the partnership were shared in a press release published today on Google’s newsroom website. Through this integration, Google Finance will incorporate Polymarket and Kalshi’s data and predictive models into its search function. This aims to provide users with speculative answers on various market questions, alongside odds and percentages.
For example, Google illustrated how users can simply ask, “What will GDP growth be for 2025?” directly from the search box to see the current market probabilities and how they have changed over time. According to Google, prediction markets data will begin rolling out over the coming weeks, initially available to Labs users.
This move by Google is particularly noteworthy given Polymarket’s recent prominence in the news. While Polymarket enables users to view odds and predictions based on its data models, it has also faced scrutiny. Several authorities worldwide have accused the platform of operating as a gambling site.
In the United States, Polymarket was under investigation by the Department of Justice up until the end of former President Trump’s second term. These investigations were eventually dropped, with no new charges filed against the company.
Google’s integration of predictive market data signals an interesting development in how market forecasting and speculative information may become more accessible to everyday users through popular platforms like Google Finance.
