 If Polymarket's main exchange gains US access approval, Kalshi would face direct competition from Polymarket's $10B/month international volume and established liquidity advantages, not just the intermediated platform.

 Congressional Research Service data shows sports contracts are 90% of Kalshi's betting volume for the year ending February 2026. Democrats argue these sports contracts are 'virtually indistinguishable from products available on DraftKings and FanDuel.'
