Kalshi traders assign GameStop only a 26% probability of successfully completing its acquisition in 2026, signaling skepticism around the deal. CEO Ryan Cohen did not provide additional financing details on Squawk Box, leaving key execution and funding questions unresolved. The update is modestly negative for sentiment but likely limited in broader market impact.
