Who’s Going Public Next? Kalshi Bets Drop US IPO Clues Before 2027— And It’s Not Just SpaceX Or OpenAI
Posted On January 3, 2026
The past year tested investor confidence, as markets grappled with policy upheaval tied to President Donald Trump‘s “Liberation Day” tariffs and a disruptive government shutdown that kept IPO activity largely frozen.
As the calendar turns to 2026, however, prediction market data points to a shift in sentiment, fueled in part by sustained enthusiasm around artificial intelligence (AI).
While headlines have focused on blockbuster names such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, under-the-radar IPOs are quietly capturing investor attention.
Kalshi, a real-money prediction market where traders bet on future events, shows early indications of which companies could go public before 2027. These probabilities were checked as of Friday.
