Fintech Giants Surge: Capitalize, Human Interest, and Kalshi Transform 401(k) Rollovers and Prediction Markets
  • Human Interest has attracted heavyweight backers like Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and The Rise Fund, and closed a $100 million funding round in October 2025 that more than doubled its valuation to about $3 billion.

  • Polymarket is discussed as a crypto-oriented platform, with its 2025 trading volume totaling $30 billion.

  • Fintech investing apps face scaling challenges, with Robinhood and Wealthfront cited as examples, even as consumer-facing prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket are growing quickly.

  • Kalshi posted $23.8 billion in trading volume in 2025, expanded to 1.2 million users, and reached an $11 billion valuation by December 2025; early 2026 activity includes a weekly trading volume around $2 billion.

  • Capitalize has raised $35 million in funding from investors including RRE Ventures, Canapi Ventures, and Bling Capital, driving triple-digit growth to roughly 20 customers in 2025.

  • A central thread across Capitalize, Human Interest, and Kalshi is the focus on 401(k) rollovers and retirement services inside fintech investing.

  • Human Interest automates 401(k) setup and management for about 40,000 small-business customers, spanning retail, restaurants, and nonprofits, with 2025 revenue at $150 million, $8 billion in assets under management, and a valuation of about $3 billion after its October 2025 funding.

  • Capitalize is profiled for helping users locate old 401(k) accounts and facilitate rollovers, with embedded software adopted by Robinhood, SoFi, Betterment, and new clients like Public, Webull, and E*TRADE; 2025 annual rollover volume reached about $5.5 billion.
