According to Fortune, prediction market exchange Kalshi, in collaboration with independent financial economist Lauris Zminsky, has launched the AI tool Blanket to provide risk hedging discovery services for small businesses. Users simply input specific business risks—such as hurricane season, fuel price volatility, or unusual weather—and Blanket’s AI reasoning engine matches them with corresponding prediction market contracts on the Kalshi platform, helping businesses hedge their associated risk exposures. Blanket is positioned as a pure discovery tool and does not involve any fund transactions; actual trade execution and compliance reviews are completed on the CFTC-regulated Kalshi platform. Kalshi stated that hedging for small businesses has become a key growth area, and Blanket aims to provide more small and medium-sized enterprises with a self-service entry point for risk management without the need for sales outreach.
