Solana Lands on Kalshi
Established in July 2021 under the oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Kalshi has periodically announced its support for digital assets through a collaboration with Zero Hash.
This week, the company posted on X, noting that solana ( SOL) has been added as a supported funding method. “Fund your account straight from your wallet,” read the official statement on X.
Kalshi provides a venue for trading standardized “event contracts”—binary outcome markets based on yes-or-no propositions tied to real-world developments, including elections, economic data releases, weather phenomena, and cultural events.
Each contract pays out $1 if the specified condition materializes, and the contract’s market price reflects a consensus probability assigned by participants. Users can transfer SOL to Kalshi, where the assets are automatically converted into fiat currency for use in contract trading.
The platform also accommodates USDC, RLUSD, WLD, BTC, and XRP. According to Kalshi’s “Crypto Deposits” FAQ, users enjoy rapid account funding and elevated deposit ceilings up to $500,000. Polymarket, a rival in the sector, also began incorporating solana ( SOL) in March.
