On November 6, 2025, the SEC’s scroll revealed Impax’s hand: 890,040 shares acquired, swelling their holding to 1,588,950, valued at $197.15 million. A sum so vast, one imagines the quill trembled as it inked the digits, as though confessing to a midlife crisis of capital.

The average purchase price was a lofty $87k – presumably financed by the state’s spare change from selling cowboy hats and inflatable bulls. Yeehaw! 🐂
Their quiet act, documented on a crisp day in late autumn, signifies more than mere ownership: it is a testament, a seed cast into the fertile soil of opportunity.

The announcement, as is the custom in our digital age, arrived on November 25 via a tweet from the Kalshi Ecosystem account, retweeted by the Near Foundation’s own heralds. Both communities, ever eager for a spectacle, rallied with the enthusiasm of a crowd at a Moscow circus. 🎪🤹♂️
Now the platform can buddy up with brokerages and let Americans peek into the crystal ball with intermediated access. Imagine that! The United States, the land of laws and red tape, has just opened the doors to a wild, on-chain prediction fest, inviting the big boys and deepest pockets into the party. 🥳💼
