We have a team of people here that are spending time with them and are looking at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket allow investors to trade contracts tied to the outcome of world events, ranging from elections and economic data releases to policy decisions. Goldman&#8217;s interest comes as prediction markets gain visibility amid debates over market transparency and regulatory boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>Some platforms operate under the oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a distinction that Solomon said makes the products look increasingly similar to traditional financial instruments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you think about some of these activities, particularly when you look at some of the ones that are CFTC regulated, they look like derivative contract activities,&#8221; said the 63-year old CEO who&#8217;s led Goldman since 2018. &#8220;So I can certainly see opportunities where these cross into our business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, Solomon struck a note of caution on timing, pushing back on expectations that Wall Street&#8217;s embrace of prediction markets will be rapid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a lot of reason to be excited and interested in these things,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But the pace of change might not be as quick and as immediate as some of the pundits are talking about. But I think they&#8217;re important, real. And we&#8217;re spending a lot of time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon speaks during an interview at the Economic Club of Washington in Washington, D.C., U.S., Oct. 30, 2025.
