US prediction market Kalshi just expanded its crypto payment options - SOL joins the party alongside USDC, BTC, and WLD.
What's New:
- Solana deposits now accepted via SOL-supported wallets
- Fourth crypto option after USDC, Bitcoin, and Worldcoin
- Powered by Zero Hash infrastructure partnership
Why Crypto Deposits Matter:
- $500k deposit limit (vs lower traditional banking limits)
- Immediate access to funds (no banking delays)
- Faster funding for time-sensitive prediction markets
Kalshi's Growing Reach:
- CFTC-regulated prediction platform
- Covers sports, politics, news, global events
- Recent Robinhood partnership for prediction markets
- Available across all 50 US states
The Timing: SOL currently trading at $181.67 (+0.98%) with $7.9B daily volume - solid momentum for the addition.
The Strategy: Adding Solana makes sense:
- Large, active user base
- Fast, cheap transactions
- Growing DeFi ecosystem
- Appeals to crypto-native traders
Competition Factor: Kalshi vs Polymarket heating up - more crypto payment options = more user acquisition from the decentralized prediction market space.
Bottom Line: Kalshi's clearly going hard after crypto users with multiple token support and higher limits. Smart move as prediction markets explode in popularity and crypto users want seamless on-ramps.
Four different crypto deposit options shows they're serious about capturing the crypto prediction market crowd.
SOL at $181.67, up 0.98% as it joins Kalshi's supported assets
