The launch comes as trading around the 2026 U.S. midterm elections accelerates, creating growing demand for faster, machine-readable data among professional and automated traders.
Kalshi’s Election & Politics market data is now live on DoubleZero Edge.

Kalshi Election Markets Go Live on DoubleZero Edge
The new 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 market information with low latency for trading systems, analytics platforms and AI-driven applications.
This election feed includes both Level 1 and Level 2 information. Top bid and offer, completed trades and aggregated depth of order book by price for traders.
The difference is crucial to anybody who plays in prediction-markets. Although a headline probability may indicate if a contract is trading mid-market, more order book details go into how much liquidity there is available and how aggressively traders are hedging about a result.
Any existing DoubleZero Edge client for another Kalshi platform can get the new election data via the same connection/process.

Built for Automated Trading
At the same time, DoubleZero is paving the way for automated and AI trading. It offers market data through its Edge platform that can be easily plugged into an existing model, trading system and analytics application.
The company has also released an MCP server to ease access to its data feeds. Agents can identify available markets, reach out to connections and troubleshoot aspects of the setup without having to go through the whole process manually.
Infrastructure speed may grow more significant for traders in the time of dynamic political events. Prediction-market prices can change rapidly as a result of election debates, polling shifts, court rulings and breaking news.
$133M Midterm Trading Signals Rising Demand
The time frame of the expansion indicates the fast growth of election related prediction markets.
By mid-August, over $133 million had been wagered on House and Senate races on the key prediction-market platforms, according to numbers included in the DoubleZero announcement. It surpassed the amount of trading that occurred over the entirety of the 2024 congressional election cycle.
All 435 House of Representatives and 33 Senate seats are in play at the 2026 U.S. midterm elections Nov. 3.
Political contracts become more and more looked on as real-time markets’ expectations. Changes in contract prices can be utilised by professional traders to track the reaction of participants to new information and by the companies to enhance risk management and automatic trading systems.
Many sports betting markets and perpetual futures in crypto were previously available on Edge via DoubleZero. Election and politics contracts bring another large country of prediction markets to the platform.
Further, the development signifies that the foundation of prediction-market technology is developing beyond the typical retail betting facade seen in the crypto sector. Real-time order-book information and automated connectivity and low latency delivery are becoming part of the underlying infrastructure that is essential to incorporating prediction markets into the professional trading process.
